After 41 years- it must be love!
Today’s theme for Texture Tuesday is love. I conceived this photo originally in response to a Clickin Moms’ creativity challenge, Body Language, and thought it would be perfect for Love as well. And I got another excuse to wear my favorite valentine socks from my teaching days! 🙂
I played with this one a bit, converting it to black and white-and then adding a layer of Mary, one of Kim Klassen’s textures from her new Downton collection. Since Downton Abbey is my most favorite TV show, I love having these new textures named after the the Crawley women. I wanted to use Sybil, but the tones of Lady Mary’s texture worked better with the image I had in mind. Next time, Sybil!
To see some beautiful textured images centered around a LOVE theme- head on over to Kim Klassen’s site.

That is sooo sweet! You are a very tender person!
Love this creative shot. Lovely interpretation and great use of texture.
A perfect showing of love. Beautifully done.
I love everything from your set up to your post processing – very, very nice!
Lovely I love feet shots and I love Downton too….
Definitely a perfect photo for Texture Tuesday, Melinda. I love the message that this image conveys, and I definitely love how you converted it to black and white before adding the texture. Beautiful take 🙂
Now this is love — it speak loud and clear … Yes, indeed totally!!!
Hugs
