Persimmon Patch

I'd been wanting to take some shots of this old Persimmon Patch for about two weeks now. 

I finaly stopped and took a couple of quick shots.

The weather was changing quickly with lots of rain clouds 

with a cold front moving in.

That gave it it's dark apperance.  The temperature was 

dropping as I clicked away.

To bring it out of it's shell

I added two layers of 

Kim Klassen's Poetic texture.

One layer was set at "color burn" and

one layer was set at "overlay" in the

blending modes of Photoshop.

I am loving how the texture brings the large out of focus fruit

on the bottom right

to your attention with a canvas feel.

I wish all of you could have tasted 

my mother-in-laws Persimmon Bread.

It was soooo good.

It is with much gratitude I share with you the

the rich colors that this season brings.

I'm sharing with these sites also:

Shades of Autumn Finale

I am so glad I found the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge.  I would like to thank Alicia, Kristy, Rebecca and all the photographers that linked up for constant inspiration saving the season before it disappeared.



My favorite colors and photos from the challenge:

Yellow




Orange




Brown

White

This week - white - is the 

Shades of Autumn

Processed with Florabella Luxe II - Halo
It looks so snowy.

I chased a white moth down 

during a photo shoot.

They thought I was crazy.

Still in shades of white I processed this picture
for Tones on Tuesday

of the ducks flying with one of

Kim Klassen paper Collection.
I used the "multipy" Blending option.
I've got to learn more techniques in applying texture.
