Can you feel the heavy drops rain on your back as you walk along these beautiful vines?  Smell the musty air of old wet leaves and hear the splatter as the drops hit the ground.  Hubby and I went on our annual trip to Fort Bragg, and on the way, we stopped at a few wineries. Navarro was the perfect spot to get a little break from the pouring down rain, take a little sip of some fine wine to warm us up and to use their bathroom..hehehe.

Once the rain calmed down some, I took a walk outside while hubby was inside chit chatting with the awesome staff. I just loved the colors as you can see, the green grass, the roses had a little color.  The vines were nearly bare with just a few of the fall color leaves were hanging on.  I love how the big trees in the background were naked which only added to the beauty of the scenery. With several 15 or 20 pictures later, this one was the perfect picture.

I have done some photo manipulations before and have had some success.  With this class, it goes beyond my current skills which I can only improve on.  I had so much fun creating this piece.  It took me several hours to be honest… but I think I will improve once I get the hang of finding the right combinations.  I made another piece before this one…not that great…my son didn’t like it much and I couldn’t blame him.  I always like it when my boys are honest with me when it comes to my creations..they are great at seeing things I don’t always see.

I hope you enjoyed this little blurp… you can go to our GIFTIES page and download this image, print it out, have a photo made from it or whatever you want…but you can not sell this. This is for personal use only please… XO
