The Brits have an obsession with the weather I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone. Yesterday we had rain, sunshine and high humidity. Every time I tried to take a photo in the garden the wind got up, blew petals off the flowers and generally caused frustration….
I so love these little cornflowers and geraniums. I processed in Lightroom using my own presets, brushed colour back into the flowers then added Kim’s ‘true grit’. In Photoshop I used two of Kim’s textures and brushed off most of the texture from the flowers.
I think I may take some time off from blogging for a while, just popping back in now and then to add some of my favourite Summer photos… I have to create a Blurb book for a friends 60th and haven’t started it yet, I don’t want it to be a burden I savour choosing and designing my pages…

Such a nice happy summer feeling in your picture, I love it !

Pretty, dainty little flowers. Summer is good time to relax from blogging if it is needed. I had my time off, now back to writing and photographing.

So summery and beautiful, and the Brits are the only ones about the weather, I think it is here in America also. I love everything about this and it is so English to me. Hope you have a great time taking some time off we all need that from time to time.

This is beautiful, Viv! Really a dynamite piece of work. {I'm with you on Blurb. I know I make it harder than it needs to be but I like to do my own layouts, too. And I'm about 4 books behind. Yikes!}

This is a delightful image, and I LOVE the quote. I've also meant to mention how much I like your header. It looks so summery, cooling and refreshing. Makes me wish we could sit down in the garden and enjoy a glass of…whatever…together.
