The Lady Bird Johnson WildFlower Center held its annual volunteer thank you happy hour on October 30th. The center at this time of year has an aura of faded beauty. Yet many plants, shrubs and grasses still are vibrant in their decay. The milk weed meadow was almost past bloom, but the butterflies, bees and moths were still buzzing around. (The happy hour was later this year, so I missed the Monarch migration by two weeks, dang it.) Y'all know I'm not a good photog, but these iPad snaps were kinda decent.

Process:
I took lots of photos on my recent trip to the LadyBird Johnson WildFlower Center. Using templates is an easy way to showcase multiple photos. I opened up the template 5 from Project Template Album No. 3G, placed my photos and clipped my photos to the masks. I enlarged the largest background mask to show more of pond. I added leaf transfers from APP Cider on the right side to balance the layout and recolored them. I added a charm, a few butterflies and MultiMedia branches as accents. Final touch was the title and date.

Thanks for looking.
