I Heart Faces -- Hands-On Fun

The "I Heart Faces" site has a Hands-On Fun challenge this week.

This is my entry.

I took this photo of Dad and Mom's hands on the day

we celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary last April.

When Dad came home alive from World War II,

he spent some time recovering,

they spent time together,

and he proposed to Mom on a June evening

by a blooming lilac bush.

They've held hands ever since,

in good times and in hard times,

in work and in play,

during fun times and times of sorrow.

They are servant hands.

This is a tribute to two of my favorite persons

and the love they share

from their hearts and their hands.

I Heart Faces -- Texture!

My second post today...

And now for some Texture! TaDa!

The first is SOOC

and the second is with a texture app:

Recently I found the web site I Heart Faces

and decided to enter this week's challenge: Texture!

I took this photo of my great-nephew Hunter as he pretended to be a big cat, prowling through the tall grass at Forest Park.

The grass provided beautiful texture all on its own.

Then I played with PhotoShop CS4's Sunspots Texture app

and came up with this bit of additional glow.

Now go check out I Heart Faces!
