Texture time

Day 76 {Helping Dad}

I just got back from 2.5 hours of helping my Dad photograph and edit pictures of the Sports Mobile he is selling.  To make things easy for him I set up a quick blog with all of the pictures and information so that he didn't have to figure out how to email them to interested buyers.

This shot is of his side yard where I had my car parked.  He has a really nice xeriscaped yard that has been featured on Garden tours.  With all the rain we have had the weeds are going crazy!

Day 75 {Duck, Duck........}


When we sprang forward (time change) on Saturday we sprang into beautiful warm spring weather.  So after dropping Kate off at her Dance class I headed down to the Bay for a walk.  Loved this little white duck just hanging by the shore.

Day 74 {When all else fails, shot some fruit}

End of the day, the sun was setting and I was without a picture.  The sunlight on the fruit looked really nice so click, click.....off to make dinner!

I used textures by Shadow House creations on all three pictures!

For those of you that ventured a guess on Day 73's picture.......I'm actually not entirely sure what it is, except that it is an old piece of farm equipment I found down at the ranch.  I believe they use it to "rake" the dirt.

LOVE the apple picture.. that editing is perfect, what a great shot. The duck looks like it could be a clip from an old movie, how fun!

How wonderful that your dd has a xeriscaped yard! Perfect for California...and even here in Ontario! I'm impressed.

Awesome! The apples are so delicious looking and I love the texture on the shot of the duck. My husband and I were walking some land we wanted to buy when we came across a cow skull, by no means were the horns that big but it was weird. I really like your processing on it.
Have a great weekend. BTW, I thought of you tonight when I was chopping my tomatoes but they went in my guacamole not salsa :)

Awesome pics, esp the apples. And the duck. And the sepia. Ok, they're all equally awesome. :)

I've been wanting to try textures. I'll have to give Shadow House Creations a look-see. Do you just create layers in Photoshop and adjust the opacity? Or how do you do it?
