Tuesday’s “Orange” Texture

The theme for today’s Texture Tuesday is “Orange”.  The thought was since autumn is coming, it was a perfect opportunity to show some orange. 
In our area, the leaves don’t change colors and fall weather is still months away!  Today, the temperature hit 100!  So, I had to look pretty hard for something orange!



My oldest son was wearing an orange shirt (football season is a sure sign of fall around here) and was working on his fishing reel.  After some adjustments to give the photo a vintage feel, I added the textures Mayzee and Serendipity, then used the eraser to bring back some of the orange color.  Not exactly autumn orange, but it’s the orange that’s going on around here!

  2. I had to go with orange clothes too -- way to early for fall here although we have been blessed with cooler weather. I love how you caught your son's hands. It's a lovely image nicely enhanced by the textures!

    Happy Texture Tuesday!

  5. Visiting from "Texture Tuesday". I do love the vintage feel of your photo BUT...I do NOT like your choice of orange (of course, I am a Penn State Nittany Lion so I am a bit biased, haha!). Lovely photo and texture.

  6. I love this! I love just the orange shirt with the rest of the shot being old and faded looking.

  7. Love how you gave it that vintage feel to it. It's still hot where I live too, and I so can't wait for Fall (not that I get to see any Fall colors), but I do love the crispness in the air. Go Gators?

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
