Snow, snow and more snow by Allison

Snow, snow and more snow

Just having a quick play with textures.

Monday we had snow....today we have snow, and we're supposed to get more on Sunday....school was cancelled, and I think even Aaron is getting fed up with it, as he said this morning "when is it going to stop....it's like we live in a snow globe" lol
simple beauty!

@stacypie thanks Stacy.....roll on Spring :-)
@seanoneill lol deprived child he is ;-)
@vega I'm so over the snow. When I first moved over here, I loved going out shoveling snow......it made me feel like wilderness woman.......now I hate it.......I look so miserable while I'm out there lol Mason jars are great......I look forward to seeing that shot......thank you :-)
February 6th, 2014  
Beautiful, the texture works so well
February 6th, 2014  
so pretty! I am quite tired of the snow, too!
February 6th, 2014  
Snow day here again too. Love the textures and vintage feel of this photo. So delicate. Love it!
February 6th, 2014  
I wish so bad you lived closer - would love to spend just a few hours to learn your techniques. I've got an eye for stuff that is cool but not the technical savvy that you have in spades. I will do Mason jar shot this weekend - hehehe... I also collect vintage train cases and have been daydreaming of shots to take of all my cases :)

February 6th, 2014  
Beautiful shot, light, tones and composition and great use of textures too. I think so many people are having horrid weather, we have had rain for over two months solid now--- fed up too!
February 6th, 2014  
Lovely Allison, the textures work really well, I like the washed out look.
No snow here thank goodness, like you I hate the stuff! Am getting a bit fed up of the rain though.

@jamibann thank you Issi :-)

@humphreyhippo thanks HH....I struggle with textures......either I overdo it, or you can't really tell I've added a texture, the shot just looks a bit off :-)
@shelle_johnson thanks Michelle :-)
@trevjk3 I hope the weather starts to improve for you....I've been hearing about the flooding.
@cocobella at least it's nice and sunny today :-)
February 6th, 2014  
@gratefulness that's so sweet and lovely, and you've put the biggest smile on my face......thank you so much Sandy :-)
@roseolivia yes, you've been getting hit with so much rain this year......my sisters have been telling me the weather's been lousy over there......it has to improve soon.
@bluefirebucket I bet......along with the rain, I was hearing it's been windy over the past couple of days. You guys are long overdue a week of sunshine. How's the leg......are you able to get out more now?
February 6th, 2014  
Rob
Love it! Fav!
February 6th, 2014  
Leg is coming along fine thank you, and yes I'm getting out more now, in fact took my mate who is recovering from a broken hip having been knocked off his bike, to the pub for dinner today.......both got told off for having our feet up on chairs!! :)
February 6th, 2014

(Linda, @seven , Mondays)
February 7th, 2014  
@happysnap thank you.....not at all :-) I play around with the curves....I think I may have faded the black just slightly to soften it, then I lightened it a little, added a filter, and then a texture :-)
February 7th, 2014  
Thank you Allison. I will have to have a play with this look - it has totally eluded me so far. You do it so well!
Do you remember which filter? (PS I presume?)
February 7th, 2014  
Beautiful shot
