Two Plus Two


I had a hard time trying to decide between two photos so I posted them both. The ginko leaves are processed with February Magic Edges and Extreme Grunge. Since it is an interpretation of "Two" this week I have named this one Two plus Two and I posted two images. I love ginko leaves their shape is just so fascinating and different. I know they are an ancient tree but without looking it up I don't know the history. There are a couple of them in my neighborhood and I love to watch them change in the Fall,they turn a glorious shade of gold.

This one I titled "Pears A Duex". I uses several of Kim's textures as you can see in the screen shot.
Including her wonderful new texture "Phoebe". Sounds like Kim had a wonderful time at Camp Shutter Sisters. Loved her post today about dreams. Got me to thinking, I have lots of dreams but have never really given them life by writing them down. I think that is going to be a project for me this week. Visualize what my dreams are and write them down, look at them and find ways to make them come true. I do believe that if you can dream it you can achieve it. Winter always gets me in a gray mood, it can be so gloomy and wet here in the winter and the sun is absent for days and months. I need to use this time to make my dreams come true. How about all of you, are you ready to really make it happen? Next week I will try and post my list of dreams. Head over to the Cafe to see how we used the prompt "Two" this week.

    Hello Pat,
    Those Ginko leaves have such strong shapes. I bet that tree goes back a few thousand years. It looks sort of prehistoric. And the wood combines so well with the pears in your second shot.

    Both images are lovely; I favor the ginko leaves - they are absolutely gorgeous. Ginko trees hold a special place for me because I saw several beautiful trees in China. Thank you, kareninkenai

    I really like the dark background in this image. I haven't yet dared use such a dark texture with any of my images but now I think I'll give it a go. Gingkos are probably my favourite trees, and their autumn foliage is such a gift

    Wonderful texturing, Pat! It's hard to know what is natural (bruising) on the pears and what is texture! Ginko and pears... hmmm, definitely a hard choice for a favorite!

    I love the gingko leaves against the dark background! Beautifully done! There are two gingko trees within view of my windows and I too enjoy their gorgeous Fall colour.

    Well, Pat.....you have created two absolutely fabulous images! LOVE the gingko leaves! And the way you "posed" your pears is so great. Both of these photos would look beautiful in frames.

    I see why you needed to post both the leaves and the pears. I know I would not have been able to choose either, they are both so lovely.

    The ginko leaves against the dark background are very dramatic! The pears have a rustic look and the texture really enhances them!

    Love the ginko leaves -- I wish I had a tree nearby, I love seeing them too. But I just love how dramatically you've isolated them with that black background. Lovely! I'm partial to the pears too. ; )

    Pat these photos are both amazing! think I might favor the ginkos, being somewhat of a dark person. Really lovely! Hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Jeanne
