Photo Art Friday - January 18, 2013

Hello and Welcome!  Please join me for Photo Art Friday over on Bonnie's blog,
Pixel Dust Photo Art.  This week the optional theme was Entrances or Exits.

It's been super cold here the last couple of weeks so I have not been outside any more then absolutely necessary.   Which means I haven't spent much time taking pictures or going anywhere to take an specific pictures that would fit this theme.  However I did have my camera with me the other night and snapped some photo's of a gorgeous sunset.

I decided to use one of them for this assigment because a Sunset is an "exit" of sorts.
I then sought out (in keeping with my word of the year, Seek) a quote that I felt fit the theme and put them together along with one of Bonnie's textures called, Perfect for this piece.  I left it pretty simple as far as edits because I wanted the sunset to be the star of the piece:

 Don't forget to pop by and check out all the other great pieces of photo art.

On a side note today is my mom's 84th birthday,  Happy Birthday Mom!

Wow... That was really powerful! Excellent combination, to my mind - as you might have gathered I have a preference for strong and colourful stuff right now :) Thank you!
