on the back porch...

such a BUSY and FUN weekend... of friends and fellowship...good eats and tunes...spring blooms galore and 93 degree heat... with impending storms today, i decided to take a quiet break from my garden work and spent some time with my camera on the back porch....



how fitting that i enhanced my photos with a



called


"silence".

    Your photos are lovely.
    I have never used textures-
    do you have to have photoshop to do so?

    Serene, elegant and just down right beautiful! I especially love the second photo of the dogwood in the basket. Someday I hope my back porch looks this welcoming.

    Visited earlier today, but have had problems leaving messages on blogs off and on the last couple of days, so decided to go get some work done. :D
    I do like how you enhance your already pretty photos.
    Enjoy your evening.

    Wasn't it a wonderful weekend, Erin? 93??? Wow! It was 85 here in MI and we were thrilled! Love all the whites on your porch. I've been working on floofing my deck and porch, and everytime I look at them, I feel like just need a little more tweeking.....but I don't know with what! lol! Maybe potted flowers will do it...once the greenhouses open up. lol! :)

    Hi Erin, absolutely gorgeous images. Believe me, I would take a thunderstorm over a dust storm any day. Dust is so oppressive. You feel like you are already 6 feet under when you are breathing in sand and dust all day long. :/ Oh me! At least I am home now visiting beautiful bloggers and seeing lovely spaces. Thanks for sharing and inspiring! Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

    I sooo love the dogwood blossoms on the cane basket – so perfect! I must say I'm happy we don't have 93ยบ but wish it would warm up a bit! As always, your photo story is a complete delight. I love your compositions. :) xo

    I love your back porch. Straight out of Country Living or Shabby Chic. I can imagine sitting there with a glass of lemonade.
    Nice processing.
