This or That Thursday

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: You Capture

These bridge photos are from our walk in the woods. I thought I shared it but I guess not. It was a pretty neat bridge.

Here are a few photos from a trip in the woods with Dustyn. Yes that blue blob is Dustyn. 🙂

texture thursday

  Here is my edit for this weeks edit me.

 

This weeks photo was provided by the lovely Alita. I love her photos. She always takes the best photos with awesome perspective. Not too much to edit.  I brightened it a touch. Then popped the color. I also used Pure Haze: Hazy Baby. After that I sharpened it for the web. Then added the quote.

    Great looking bridge - there's one at our local botannic gardens which is similar in design although it's painted red. Really like your edit of the last photo and the quote is very fitting.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
