The Texture Tuesday theme this week
is gardening.
A few days ago I was drilling Gabriel
about the three necessities for plant
growth. I love getting to start
teaching him things!
Sunlight, water and soil.
That's what a plant needs to grow.
People, on the other hand,
need a little more.
For me, the list goes something like this:
* A safe, loving home
* Food that is beautiful and nourishing
* The love and support of a few good friends
*Daily alone time
* Music and art
* Books
*Yoga
What about you?
What is on your must-have list
in order for you to grow?
P.S. For those interested in the technical details,
I used a levels adjustment layer and a curves
adjustment layer, then added two layers
of Kim's new Stained Linen texture
on soft light. I added a gaussion
blur to the second layer to
soften the texture.
Love your photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as growing goes... I need me time to indulge in art, be it photography, glass bead making, jewlry etc.Being outside in the open air, either park, garden or forest is pretty crucial for me too.

ReplyDeleteI love it when a common object becomes entirely new through someone else's perspective. What a beautiful image! And as for your list -- I'd only add the occasional piece of chocolate!
