Last Friday, I photographed this blossom- one of the few on my flowering plum that day. Today the tree is covered with blossoms.
I used 3 layers of texture in my edit- more than usual for me- because I was attempting to tone down the pinks (the blossoms) and the blues (the sky) in the background. Much as I appreciate the springtime colors in my otherwise drab garden, the effect in the photo was giving me flashbacks of the wallpaper in my childhood bedroom. I loved it when it was put up, but as I grew older I found the pink and blue flowers babyish and frilly and girly. Daisy and Sybil from Kim Klassen’s Downton textures muted the background, while Cora kept the blossom pink. 🙂
I’m still reeling after Sunday’s Downton Abbey finale! I knew something major was going to happen- and I’m still getting over the earlier tragedy (not specifying in case you aren’t caught up). Too much action for one season= but I do think this opens up lots of plot possibilities!
Follow the link at the bottom of the page to see more photos using textures from Kim’s Downton collection. Happy Texture Tuesday!
P.S. I removed the footprints from yesterday’s beach photo- the incompleteness of them bugged me. Next task: add MORE footprints to the black and white version- MAYBE! Check out yesterday’s post for the update.

I’m reeling too Melinda! Loved the photo.
This is very pretty. Way too early for trees to be budding where I live, but I’m enjoying seeing these first bits of Spring in others’ photographs.
So dreamy!!
Such a lovely blossom! and wonderfully textured.
I like this picture , it reminds me of a calender I had a few years ago, flowers for each month…..good job !
I can’t believe you have blossom, so pretty. Waiting for Spring to arrive here.
This is beautiful, Melinda. I love the texture you used on this photo. I think it matches the color of your subject perfectly.
Wonderful blossoms, so soft and perfect for the textures.
