Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's Lace is thick along the side of the road right now.  It is so pretty when the sun is setting.  I have altered these photos today with the texture Aurora by Kim Klassen.

This photo didn't have a texture applied.

Isn't this a beautiful Mary.  It belongs to my SIL.  Each side of her face has a different expression due to the decay.  
Thanks for coming by!

Beautiful photos, Sherry. The poor Queen's Anne Lace have about been fried here due to lack of moisture and high temperatures.

Beautiful photo story! I especially love the images of Mary... she is so serene and timeless. Your field of flowers (are they Rudbekias?) are great, too. I love the unexpected angle.

Wow! Your photos are breathtaking, Sherry. Truly beautiful. I don't know how to do textures. Is there a tutorial on Kim's site? Your photos should be framed, they are so nice. Thanks for sharing and Happy Outdoor Wednesday to you.
