"Double Take" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Double Take.” I used two different digital bird stamps, that were almost identical, and created a ghost like effect for the second bird. I duplicated the flower and used a similar effect for it. I wanted to simulate a double exposure photograph effect.

Frozen Dogwood Buds - Ice Storm

© All Rights Reserved
© All Rights Reserved
This time we had an ice storm. I'm thankful the worst seems to be over and I didn't lose power, nor did I receive the brunt of the ice accumulation. These are pictures of my dogwood. The buds form at the end of the season (last year), and aren't even close to ready to open, so they should be fine. I've had daffodils start coming out of the ground, only to be buried by a snowfall, but it doesn't adversely affect them.
