    A beautiful day

    August 5, 2013 - By 

    beautiful dayWe’ve had such gorgeous weather lately. It inspired me to create this journal page day.

    Blue sky and puffy white clouds.

    A field of flowers…beautiful day full page

    I think I was also inspired by a recent trip to the MN Landscape Arboretum.  So many beautiful flowers. I took well over 100 photos in the 1.5 we were there.

    I’ll share more of that day in a later post.

    This was the last photo I took that day as we were walking back out to our vehicle. That’s it straight from the camera…no edits…no fussing with color balance etc….with the exception of my watermark, of course.

    Here’s the same photo after playing around in Photoshop. It has a completely different mood.

    I could play in the digital world all day but there are things in the real world that need my attention today.

    It’s personal

    personalThe last page in my Watkins journal. Gathered from bits and pieces thrown in a drawer.

    The photo is me from a couple years ago. It was an extra from a scrapbook page…yes, have been known to scrapbook every once in a great while.

    I wrote a personal journal entry on the back of the date due slip in the pocket.

    All I have left is to do some things with the outside covers of this journal. It’s been a fun experimenting journal. I’ve started using a date stamp so I can keep track of what I did and when. You always think you’ll remember but I have learned that I just don’t.
