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!

    OH how I love fall and all of the fall colors! Here in SC, we get some of the best colors of the fall season! It's my favorite! Now you've got me thinking about fall! I'm ready to carve an pumpkin and drink hot apple cider! Ahh.....Great pic!

    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!

    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.

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

    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...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
