texture tuesday muse || wise words eDition

words to the wise are also words that make one wise ...
yes, i do love reading quotes full of wisdom for the soul!

this week i'm sharing a word of wisdom on a very simple image ...
wasn't sure how this would even turn out, and i would love your thoughts.
i took this while looking out a window of an old historical home
at our living history museum ... conner prairie.

i might add, if you're ever in indiana, it's a must-see for the whole family.
we really enjoy spending time there, and are looking forward to visiting again, soon!
and, without a doubt, it's the perfect place for photo opportunities!

this week i'm linking up with both
kim's cafe for texture tuesday,
and nancy's tuesday muse.

my texture recipe:
kim's  'anna'
blend mode to multiply at 45%
eraser tool used for clarifying curtain pattern

click on over to kim's cafe for more 'wise words',
she also has a give-away going on this week ...
and nancy's rural journal for some amazing photo inspiration!

want to thank you all, again, for taking the time to drop in ...
i so enjoy reading your comments and coming round to your sites.
i'm looking forward to seeing what you share this week, as well.

now, go make your day count!
blessings to you,
deborah

... a look back

another aspect of my photography, that i so enjoy doing,

is going to the living history museum and

seeing what memories from the past that i could capture for the present.

i'll be sharing more in the coming days and i do hope you enjoy the walk back!

as you can see, this is a dining room,

with some very pretty, and unique, plates, cups and saucers ...

 ones that i wouldn't mind having in my own cupboard!

off to the side, over hot embers in the rather large fireplace,

they were cooking some of the fall harvest to feed those who work, and basically live there.

i often think of how difficult everyday life was for them in the beginning,

and how fortunate and blessed we are today!

i wanted to share both black and white and color versions of this image.

can't decide which i like better ... can you?

hope you all have a wonderful week ...

it's snowing here again ...

but i don't really mind at all!

spring will soon be here, without a doubt!

blessings,
deborah xoxo
