I pulled this ribbon off some fabric I bought the other day and threw these bows on a shelf.....and they kept eyeing me and I kept eyeing them.  This morning I couldn't help myself and grabbed the camera, downloaded and that's where I've been - playing in photoshop.

The Green Light

on such a foggy day, there's still a bright spot!  The light is green...don't look back....let's move!

Always look for a bright spot in the day.

This was a cropped portion of a friend's quilt.....I thought it made just the best playful little ColorBoard.  Walt Disney's Goofy in fabric:  What's not to love?

I can see clearly now

in spite of the fog ~


a picture out the car window on a recent road trip - I wasn't driving, so I could see clearly



In Photoshop:  The Recipe
Without altering the image, I duplicated it
applied Lens Flare filter - movie prime.
With soft light blend mode and opacity adjusted to my satisfaction.    




Same picture, same filter
Screen blend mode 
Opacity adjusted.  




Now, back to the original picture
with Color Burn blend mode.

It's all in how you see it ~ 
Live within a fog or outside of it ~ 
If you happen to be in a fog, enjoy the moment!

When  I woke up this morning,  and you were on my mind ~

The recipe:  First, make a watercolor texture.  How I did that in PSE 7:  open new blank file, select transparent background.  Select a foreground color (I chose violet), then select a brush (I chose a soft round brush), enlarge the brush and brushed my color onto the middle of the transparency.  Next, I chose a softer pink, found a splatter brush and brushed over the first layer.  Continued adding color and changing brushes,  softening the opacity as I went along until I was satisfied with my watercolor layer mask. 



Now, bring in the picture and layer the watercolor texture over, adjust blend modes and opacity.  Next I went to the filter gallery and selected render - clouds.  

The original:  As you can see, I cloned in more trees to fill in some gaps:
