Lamp Post

Another successful soccer game weekend.  Since I already have posted a photo of soccer action a few weeks ago, I didn't want to again.  Tried taken photos of cows as we were driving 55 MPH down the road.  Not an easy task.  Tried to get photos of an Osprey in mid-flight at the soccer fields.  Didn't have any luck getting the Osprey in mid-flight.  Saw this lamp post that look pretty cool (non-moving) against the cloudy sky.  Figured it would look good with some Topaz Adjust filters applied.  The filters I applied were Topaz Black and White with the blending mode set to luminosity to give it contrast, Topaz Adjust Spicify, added a lighting filter (flashlight) to make it look like the light was on, followed up with Topaz Adjust Vintage Grunge.

Mini Mares

Our neighbors own these two cute miniature horses. I think they are especially cute this time of year because they have their wooly winter coats. I applied Topaz's Vintage Grunge I preset filter to give it an old time cowboyish look.

Puzzle Me!

This is part of a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle my husband and I worked on ALL day New Year's Day and he finished it the next day. It's a puzzle I had gotten him for Christmas a couple of years ago, but had never put it together until now. I forgot how addicting jigsaw puzzles could be, but it was fun. It's going to be difficult to take it apart :-). I used a low strength of Topaz's Vintage Grunge I filter.
