My favorite photos to shoot and edit for Texture Tuesdays are still life photos.
Since we're on vacation, I'm stretching myself and using various shots from our travels.
The flower above was growing in the dunes by the sea.

It was a sunny but very windy day when we walked the beach near Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
The photo below is my husband crossing the dunes to get back to where we parked the car.

The first half of our vacation was spent on the Oregon coast.
We then drove over the Cascade mountains to spend the remainder of our vacation in central Oregon.
The photo below is of Detroit Lake, which we stopped by on the drive.

The rest of the photos were taken on my iPhone 5s.
I don't typically use phone photos for Texture Tuesday, but had some fun with these shots.
Here in central Oregon, juniper trees with their blueberry lookalike juniper berries, grow everywhere.

Queen Ann's Lace...

We saw five deer out on our run this morning.
I couldn't get close enough to get a really clear photo with my iPhone camera,
so I decided to heavily texture this photo, giving it an almost watercolor effect.

I enjoyed doing a little something different this week.
I hope you enjoyed looking at them!

ReplyDeleteposter-perfect!
Thank you so much, Janet!
DeleteAll are special but I love, love, love the Queen Anne's Lace--nothing like it out in the landscape--Hope you have a great "rest of your vacation."
ReplyDeleteThank you, friend. We are enjoying the last few days of our vacation very much.
DeleteBeautiful images .... looks amazing places your visiting.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Carmel!
DeleteHey now... I just got myself one of those handy dandy iphone 5s things. You give me hope that my shots could maybe be a little prettier than I think they can be.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and make me want to be there.
You will have a lot of fun with your new phone!
DeleteBeautiful vacation shots! The Queen Ann's Lace is my favorite, so delicate... It seems there is more Queen Ann's Lace than usual here in Ohio, I love seeing the white flowers dot the landscape.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the Queen Ann's lace is the favorite of most. :) Thanks so much for coming by and for your encouraging comment!
DeleteBeautiful summer processing on these, love the haze and especially love that beach scene.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Barbara!
DeleteLovely images.
ReplyDeleteThank you, so much!
DeleteAll your images are lovely. I used my phone quite a bit on my vacation as well. Now if I could figure out an easier way to get them off my phone and onto my computer....I have a Sony Xperia Z1.
ReplyDeleteAbrianna, I tried to take my nikon on one of my long beach walks but it's a bit hard on the neck! My iPhone is much lighter.
DeleteLovely images, I love the hazy look. I especially love the lighthouse image!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I couldn't get my comment on your post to load up, but your photo of the lady's slipper was wonderful!
DeleteYour Queen Ann's Lace looks like a snowflake. As usual, lovely images!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I saved one of your photos form this week to link your blog on my FB page, since FB will not embed images automatically any more.
Thank you, Lisa! Yes, feel free to save an image!
DeleteI agree with Barbara Hurst, lovely summer haze look to these. Wonderful job
ReplyDeleteCarol, thanks so much for your visit here and for your kind encouragement!
DeleteYour photos are so pretty. i like the way the textures interact with the beach and the plants.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilyn!
DeleteLazy hazy days, you bet! Love your images!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Denise! I loved your series of photos as well!
DeleteThese are wonderful, Elizabeth! I think the lighthouse and the snowflake, oops! I mean the Queen Anne's lace are my favorites... but I'm glad you're not making us choose. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful beach!! I want to go there!! I'm glad you decided to post some of your travel shots. I think my favourite is the first one - love those flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love that first one! I do more still lifes in the winter with texture. During the other months I'm all about nature and a farm every now and then.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fantastic shots. Those little asters/daisies look like little sunbursts, don't they? And I adore the shot of the wild flowers in the forefront of the water. It's such a serene shot!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful vacation. I am very partial to the ocean, but the mountains are lovely. I like your "…a female deer…"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Queen Anne's Lace!!
