    I know nothing of photo programs. My Rebel came with photo shop and I'm afraid to even look at it!

    Beautiful blossoms.

    What lovely magnolia blossom. It looks so striking on the bare branches of the tree without any leaves. And your added effects are lovely too, making for two very different takes on the original image. All the best, Bonny

    looks like a honey comb ... very interesting look. ( :

    i love those tulip tree. we have them around here ...most of ours of the same type or way huge ... so you have to look up to see the blooms. not close up like these.

    What a lovely photo. I love magnolia, they are one of my favorite flowers.
    I like what you have done with it, the colors in your renderings.
    Serenity - yes, that fits it.

    Thank you for linking up @ ~s-A(R)T-day~

    Hanh is one of my favourites for quotes. I have a few of his books and even some meditation guides. very good for finding serenity.

    love this beautiful picture and the quote.

    Hi There, I just had to visit someone who is named IDA. That was my grandmother's name (whom I never knew since she died before I was born). BUT--I have never heard of anyone else with that wonderful name. I love it --and if I had have had a girl (had 3 sons), I wanted to name her Ida....

    Beautiful pictures....

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Nicely done! Sometimes I feel like George's father on Seinfeld trying to find peace while being aggravated and yelling "Serenity now! Serenity now!"

    Ida, this is so very beautiful, from its original/natural state, to its enhanced version. You really added a touch of delicate delight. The quote is the perfect complement.

    Have a lovely week!

    Ida, I really love your new banner photo!! What a great effect on those tulips. Please forgive me if you've had them up there for weeks -- I'm behind on my blog readings AS USUAL! But I do enjoy your photography! Thanks for the happy flowers.
