Douglas Lake Vintage View & Other #Photoart Creations

Good morning, kittens and dawgs. Les from Ink Interrupted (click on link ot see what I’m talking about) inspired me with her recent photo-art creations in today’s Not-So-Wordless Wednesday share that I entitled, Douglas Lake Vintage View.

Douglas Lake Vintage View

From a church parking lot overlooking Douglas Lake, I snapped this shot of the gazebo. I added the fog effect to my photo in Pixelmator giving my image a dreamy sense and then I used a free vintage postcard background as an overlay. I like the way it turned out, don’t you?

Added Bokeh background as a new layer with a pin light effect. The pin light versus only an overlay gave me what I was looking for in the bokeh design.

You can always tell when summer arrives even before its officially here with blog traffic slowing down. I know some folks pop in to read the contents only while others let ya know they stopped by with a comment, but what gets my attention mostly is blog hop participation. The numbers are visibly not there. No worries, though. It is what is. Summer should be enjoyed to its fullest. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Those who can will and those who can not won’t, but they know they’re always welcome anytime.

What have you been photographing lately ~ scenic views, children, pets, or random stuff? I’d love to see it. I invite you to link your WW post below.

I’m toying with the idea of taking a blog break. I will either suspend posting while I’m away or combine all hops into one weekly post. I haven’t decided yet. I’m a bit conflicted about what to do, but I do know I need to temporarily step away to refresh my mind. Come back for another peek through my lens with my Skywatch Friday feature and get in on the Friday social media action. Have a fototastic day!
