Summer represents to me the greening of the world again.......after a dormant gray winter,  life comes back with a vengeance. The dance of the butterflies return to the late afternoon sky and flowers explode with every color, the lushness of a dark green carpeted lawn and the canopy of green leafed trees to cool the hot summer sun. Summer represents surviving another long cold winter and a new chance at becoming a better me.  


This is a photograph that I shot a while ago and I decided to play around with my photo editing software.  It ended up having a painted effect but it's was just a lil smudging or streaking of this color into that color. I'm liking how it turned out so much I might be matting and framing this and adding it to my bedroom wall!

What a BEAUTIFUL picture.  I love the effect you gave it. :-)  I have summer entry up in my journal.  I wanted to use my tall ladies but, was to eager to wait.  So, I used something else from that warm summery day. :-)
