Delicious Autumn

Hello and Happy Friday! - First before I get to my entry for Photo Art Friday I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and get well wishes for my mom.  I am happy to report that her BP seems to be under control now.  She had a good report at her doctor's visit on Wednesday and is feeling much better now.  I am slowly but surely catching up on e-mails and other stuff so hopefully I'll be able to visit each of your blogs and leave comments on your photos.

Here is my entry for this week.
I used Bonnie's Medieval Magic texture (again-can't seem to get enough of that one) on my photo.  Then edited further in Picnik.  Doggone I keep forgetting to write down what I do to these photo's.  At any rate I really like how this turned out and hope you do as well.


In case you can't read the quote I added:  Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~ George Eliot.

Here is my Original Photo:



Now for those who may have noticed I have missed another couple of days of my 31 Days of Reflection musical selections.  During the past couple of days our Internet was off due to lines being cut at a construction site about 50 miles from where we live.  So I've not been able to be on the computer much and just couldn't get songs posted.

We are "Big" PBR (Professional Bull Riders) fans and the Built Ford Tough finals have started in Las Vegas this week.  In honor of that event I am posting: Willie Nelson's,
My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys as today's musical selection. 
Enjoy

  15. I love this photo - the old truck and pumpkins just shout autumn! I like the composition and everything - then when you add the textures, it raises the pic to another level (which is the point, isn't it?) - now it feels so vintage.

    Thanks for the visit -
