The tree is starting to brown at the top. I hope it's not a sign that it's dying. This is a ground... Continue Reading →
These photos were taken in RAW and converted to JPEG. Nothing else was done to them. I should also mention that the setting was on auto.
Working on finishing up the Artventure course by Wilna Furstenberg and loving these beautiful florals she designed. I'm using the Silhouette Portrait to cut them.
