It's been a wonderful weekend and as I was sitting at the computer I thought I'd just take some time to play with some photos! Yesterday we took a walk to the river. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon and the weather was incredible. I got this photo as we were walking back home. I'm not sure why, but there is a beautiful orb in the lower left. Thought it was a problem with my camera or lens, but none of m other photos taken at that time have the same artifact. At any rate, it was just the most wonderful day to walk!
So I took the above photo and thought I'd play with PicMonkey to see what I'd get. Well, there is a new effect called Edge Sketch and the result is below. That is the closest I will every get to "painting" an abstract picture. And, it was fun!!
Along the way, I took some other photos of the Spring that has finally arrived here. All of nature's most beautiful colors were on display! Indeed, it was grand!

Thanks be to God!

Today, I have a frivolous post to share with Mersad. I invite you to join Mersad at Through My Lens. There are wonderful posts there.
Please visit Judith at Lavender Cottage for Mosaic Monday and share in the beauty offered there.
I think you should take some time to visit Imagin-in-ing. You're sure to enjoy it!
It is fun working with Pic Monkey or any of the photo labs. Great jobs. I think you might have just discovered another challenge. So nice to be able to be at home and just live life to the fullest.
