Dream }{ Texture Tuesdays

"Once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." - Leonardo Da Vinci
This week's Texture Tuesday's prompt was dream. I am nothing if not a dreamer. 
And how I miss the beach and dream of it!
  • tweaked original image's level and curves
  • Kim Klassen's "loveinlayers" on multiply @20%
  • Kim Klassen's "dream" on multiply @30%
  • added quote (Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet)
As you can see, I'm back participating in Texture Tuesdays. I've truly missed it.


This image is not my usual style, but I wanted to try something outside of my comfort zone. I'm not sold on it, but again, I wanted to stretch myself.

    Love your photo! Great job. Looking at all the beach/water photos in today's TT, I think many of us are dreaming of the beach!

    Love! The quote is perfect. Pictures like this make me wish I could get into them. I'd run through that water and get muddied up. :)

    I like your image a lot..and it's mysterious too because I can't tell if it's dawn or dusk..I love the lighting in the upper left--really like the textures you added, too! :)
