Seasons

I was craving color when we went for a hike last weekend.   And I found it in the all the little things!

Recipe:
  1. Add the wanderlust 1 texture to on top of your image
  2. In the layers palette set the blending of texture to soft light
  3. Keep opacity at 100% for a soft glow

    Oh my goodness, such beautiful photography and textures. I love hiking, and cannot wait until it warms up a little bit more to go with the kids, or at least take a few nature walks! The best place to be is outdoors. Revitalizes the soul! I hope you have a wonderful day!

    1. I'm glad someone else appreciates it. I was hiking with a friend and she couldn't figure out why I was photographing a tree trunk.
