I took these photographs at a garden near my house a few
weeks ago, just getting to look at them now…
I hope you are enjoying the last days of summer with a smile
on your face. In my neck of the woods it
has been hotter this week than it has been all summer! I will enjoy it while it lasts.
Today I am joining Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday. I played
with my images in Lightroom and textured them with Kim’s texture savor in PS Elements.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Have a great week!!
Michelle
I just LOVE your beautiful summer shots, and the fab quotes, esp. the one of Mary H. Waldrip. Thank you for sharing, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is knocking at our door, and leaves have begun turning brown and fiery red a month early.
Happy Tuesday. :)
Yes, summer is fading here in Northeastern Ohio as well. I'm shooting as many of my flowers that are left as I can.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your images and thanks for sharing the quotes!

You know coneflowers really are a smile flower along with sunflowers I think. They are so pretty dressed in pink or white with their button hats. Really love.
ReplyDeleteWonderful macro of the bee!
ReplyDelete‘A laugh is a smile that bursts.’ - I love this!
Cone flowers are my fav--love how you textured them!
ReplyDeletePretty flowers ... and you've found some great quotes, Michelle !
ReplyDeleteLove how you added the typewriter font ...
Enjoy the sun ... it's raining here all day ... :-(
Have a nice week,
Sylvia
Lovely images - I can't help but to smile. Love coneflower and bumbles!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty end of summer images...Coneflowers are always a highlight. Do you also have yellow finches come and feed on the ripe seeds? We have a lot of them that do that.
ReplyDeleteLovely image and edit. I love all the beautiful quotes about smiles.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. Is there ever a bad picture of a coneflower?
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty coneflowers and a great shot of that bee!
ReplyDelete{{Big Smile}} here! I love your smile quotes, great fun and wisdom. And the coneflowers are sooooo lovely. Mine are, well, done, really. So I enjoyed these. And really good macro of the bee.
ReplyDeleteConeflowers are simply wonderful! You've captured them beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLovely Michelle. It has been hot and humid here. I am not a fan. Bring on fall and many photographic delights.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty pink flowers! Thanks for sharing all the quotes, too. I'm smiling after reading them :)
ReplyDeleteI love both of these shots very much!
ReplyDeleteYour image did make me smile .... lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteConeflowers are such a joy to photograph - all that color and texture and design. Your images are like the last graceful days of summer - hazy and hot and a little bittersweet. Love the bee and the affirmations, too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo. I no longer have enough sun in the yard to plant many flowers. Amnd, when I do plant any, the deer eat them. So I enjoy seeing what others are growing.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile, and we all need to be reminded of the joys that bring happiness, too! Love the quotes, and your fantastic images, Michelle! It's very hot here now, too ... we had a month of below normal temperatures and we thought that maybe we had dodged the dog days of summer ... nope, we did not! We're basking in them now ... well actually, we're swimming in all the humidity, still, there is reason to smile! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and shots! :)
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
