TT – Longing for Spring

March 24, 2015 by Kim

Texture Tuesday Evolution

Texture Tuesday has always been about sharing your artful textured photos…..

Personally, my workflow has changed a lot since Texture Tuesday began…
I now use Lightroom for 90% plus of my processing.
I know this is the same for many of you as well.
Texture can come in many forms…. from the subject, the surface, the backdrop……the processing…..
Many of my LR presets enhance the texture within the frame….and often there’s no need for additional layers.

And so…. moving forward…..
I invite you to share your images layered with my textures, and/or processed with my Lightroom presets….
Keeping the theme …. texture in mind…..

Please Share the TT button on your blog…… xo

Hello lovelies….

How are you?

I hope this post finds you well…..

I decided to dig into my archives for a little touch of spring today…….
It was here…then it was gone….
the cold …then snow returned…. ‘sigh‘…..
I was being a bit of a suck about it….but, I’m over it now…..
I know it won’t last much longer…. sooner or later the lilacs will bloom again…

On the up side, the snow is perfect for cleaning Ben’s paws…….

Today’s Photo Recipe

Images were processed in LR with my kk_justa preset…….then into photoshop for a layer of waterfront 1 at soft light 53%……
masked off the lilacs….

    Yes, the lilacs will come sooner or later – hopefully sooner!! At least the snow is pretty. (How’s that for trying to be positive?!)

    Happy Tuesday Kim. I’m considering getting a new Mac laptop and instead of PSE installing Lightroom instead. I love your presets. Are they for sale? Gorgeous shots and I can’t wait to check out the new shop!!

    Your lilacs are a beautiful reminder of spring. Thank you for the spoon link, I will be checking that out. A girl can never have too many spoons. :)

    I have always loved your lilac images, and on that vintage white chair—-oh my! Each time I see the work you do and read your words about LR, I tell myself I MUST reinstall it and “move forward.”

    our spring is here, but the only color I have right now is green… we do not have much color around here :(. But, that is the fabulous thing about this cyber world we live in, I can enjoy others beautiful worlds of color.

sometimes we dismiss the simple challenges...
they may seem a bit small, insignificant or ‘what’s the point?’….
but if we’re open, show-up and lean in… little bits of magic will often find us.

not to be all about Ben but I’ve had so many pe not to be all about Ben but

I’ve had so many people asking for an update on Benny. I thought I better do a post. ♡
first thank you all.
.
so we went for his limp but it ended up a little more complicated than that.
.
He has a heart murmur that the vet is quite concerned about.
the first 15 minutes of the phone call (because you can’t go into the vet) was about his little heart.
then she continued to say he has a torn ACL and because of the heart they can not do surgery.
so 6 weeks of bedrest with the hopes he will form some scar tissue and be ok to walk again but with a limp. 
they are doing an echocardiogram on Tuesday to decide what to do next for the heart. He’s not symptomatic so we would not have known if we didn’t go for his leg.
.
.
which leads me to this…
the food we’ve had Ben on up until last year - is grain free - and it has been linked to the cause of the murmur.
last summer the vet suggested we take him off it because of the study linking it, so we switched then.
I can’t believe the food we choose because of the ‘quality’ is the cause.
and I can’t believe it’s still on the shelves.
.
if you’re curious about the study you can find the details with a quick google search.I also linked it in my stories. 
.
And please share this with your pet owning friends as well. 🙏🏻
.
.
thank you for all the love & support about our Benny.  so many beautiful comments and DMS. Grateful.
.
He’s taking it all like a trooper…other than when we go out for the loo he wags his tail and wiggles about thinking finally she’s taking me for our walk. 
straight to the heart.
.
the LOVE is deep my friends.
as I know many of you get.

friends. this beautiful boy needs your prayers an friends.

this beautiful boy needs your prayers and lotsa good thoughts.
he’s been slowing down this past week and yesterday he started limping.
today it’s much worse.
unfortunately due to covid getting into a vet is slow.
praying they can help my boy…. he’s 11 but I need him for many more years to come.

thank you.
