Kiss Me & Kiss Me Again

Windows & Doors

I really enjoy the architecture of the library in our small town.  It was built only a few years ago and sits on the main road through our small town...did you know a block from here is the home of the only traffic light in the county that changes color? (as opposed to the ones that just blink) Yep, that's how small town we are.  Home of the National Asparagus Festival.

Leaf Veins

I couldn't decide between these two...I had the one below prepared.  My daughter had found this spiderweb with droplets on it sitting over the rocks, and I liked the veins of the helicopter.  Then I saw this bush at a friend's house and thought the red leaves amongst the green were just so interesting!

Lashes

We know about eyelashes here...and looks like we'll someday know about tweezers! All 3 of my darlings have dark thick lashes framing their big, bright eyes.

Faceless Portrait

This friend one of those girls who looks so darn cute wearing a hat!  I'm so excited that this mother of a 7 year old and 10 year old is expecting another in 2 months!

One of the big highlights of my month are the YAC (young adult couples) get-togethers.  It's a guaranteed date night for Tim and I, and we get to hang around with our friends for a couple hours, have a sharing time where we grow deeper with each other in community as well as in God's Word.  It's building marriages.
I used Kim Klassen's Portrait texture with a mask at soft light and multiply.
