Beautiful photos. I am like you, and have to capture the insects and pollinators when I see them on my flowers! Love all the color.

So neat and I love the dual treatments! Your splashes and brushes and the arched journaling add so much.

Absolutely wow on this. Just stunning photography. You deserve all the accolades in these comments and the Standing O!

These photos were taken in May at Springfield Botanical Gardens. I enlarged and extracted a closeup I had taken. Thanks for the challenge.

Years ago, my brother had a yellow Labrador retriever that actually unnerved me with her VERY intent stare as I ate leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I still remember that dog and her stare, LOL.

Here is one from me. Thanks for the template and the challenge.

Just lovely! and so is your photo treatment!

It took me a minute to realize what I was looking at, and then it hit me - a dog's eye. So funny to read your note! Made me laugh.

Very powerful! Thanks for remembering our soldiers.

Those must be something to see in person. The creativity and skill of people amazes me. Love the scene at the bottom. You combined so many kits!

What a neat old photo! Love the grasses.

So pretty!

The simple, clean lines of this are dramatic. I really like the purple on purple with the background and the letters. The outlining for the paper and the letters is echoed nicely as well.

Wowza. Love this. The color is so rich and saturated. Layering in the different scaled hay is a great idea.

I was inspired by the many bronze sculpture pieces completed by Degas...there were so many!
