Slowly I walk
and wander
to the edge of the unknown
where my vision is cloaked
and mystery abounds
where there is stillness
yet things move
where there is silence
but I can hear
where there is peace
and I feel at home
I breath . . .
I exhale . . .
I begin to feel a warm glow
as it chases the veil
revealing all
that the heart already knows
of beauty and goodness
of nature and life
. . . and I stand before Him in awe
-Kim
one foggy morning....one very foggy morning,
I went back to the house to get the camera after dropping off the kids,
one foggy morning....one very foggy morning,
and went to a park,
and it was dreamy and beautiful and still,
and you could see the fog literally floating by in little droplets and it was amazing!
This week for Photo Art Friday our challenge was an abstract starting out with Bonnie's free texture Dropped Petals as a background, plus any other pdpa texture, plus 1 or 2 other images .
{Dropped Petals-I started out with 2 layers as a background}
{My three images I used and another of Bonnie's textures Dusty Rose}
And this is what I ended up with . . .
You'll probably see some more fog photos in the future, I had to save some for a rainy day!
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend....
Love, Kim
XO
Absolutely beautiful!
