I'm so very thankful for unexpected reminders of Christ and how much He loves me.

I'm thankful for the beauty of Autumn, as fleeting as it is.

I'm thankful for the variety of things in our backyard, even though it's cold outside!

And I'm thankful for Captivus Living's new challenge that encourages us to try those seldomly used tools in photoshop!
Wow.
This was insanely fun!
A little too much fun, perhaps.
Vincent Van Gogh is hands down my all time favorite painter.
Starry Night is my all time favorite painting.
So I wanted to create a Starry-Night-Van-Gogh-esque type of photo.
I use PSE 8 and did the following:
Step 1: Filter > Distort > Liquefy. Using the 'clockwise' and 'counter-clockwise' buttons, swirl the background.
Step 2: Filter > Distort > Liquefy. Using the 'bloat' button, enlarge the main flower and stem.
