Texas State Fair

My husband and I went to the State Fair today. Here are some photos.

We actually went down this slide...it was fun!

My camera was not cooperating. I took several shots of the Ferris Wheel and I could

not hold still. They were all blurry so I put a watercolor effect on this one. I think it

looks pretty cool.

I am having fun learning PhotoShop

I was bored one night and decided to take some of my random photos and play around

with my PhotoShop software. This inspired piece came from the photo below.

I took this picture of this tiny pink flower at my Mema's house. She lives in South Texas
where the Mesquite trees and brown grass take over everything.
She spread some flower seeds on her front lawn and watered it like crazy...this little guy was
the fruit of her hard work.

Red is for Dining Rooms

My friends husband is an artist who works in metals and

he made this amazing cross that hangs above our dining table.

This is a view through the mirror between two windows.
