4 Parrots at the Houston Zoo-Challenge 2, turquoise and orange/golds

Done for the July 52 Inspirations Challenge #3 I blended my photo into the background with the Overlay blend mode.

For the July Creative Techniques Challenge Process: 1st I created a Dodge and Burn Layer and darkened the pink area on the left and darkened the trees behind the kids in the photo. 2nd I created depth of field in the layout with the leaves (color picked from trees in photo) and the butterflies.

Photo is mine edited in PSE15.

Created for Lorie Davison Somewhere Near The Sea. What a fabulous Collection -it's so full of wonderful backgrounds, elements, paints and word art that it's hard to decide which ones to use! Be sure to pick up this collection today for your summer beach photographs.

I miss living in Florida where I could jump on the sailboat, let the wind blow & sun shine on my face. It was relaxing and invigorating, all at the same time. Freeing to the soul.

Done for the July Poems and Lyrics Challenge. Where is the hay? Sly is enjoying the hay!

We arrived at the Currituck Lighthouse at 2:45 p.m. after traveling all day across Virginia and North Carolina.

Sea Lions before they had a baby. And of course a sea siren joins them in the celebration.

Sea Lions and a Mermaid.
