Let's start with Sweet Shot Tuesday. I took several of these, and I really couldn't pick a favorite, but at the moment it is this one.
Now my other Tuesday usual, Texture Tuesday. The theme this week is garden. I'm not sure this technically counts because I don't know what flower this is, but I'm pretty sure it is a weed--a giant, purple dandelion like flower--at least it wasn't in a garden but a patch of other weeds. Update: apparently it is a flower: a Centaurea montana or Bachelor's Buttons. I want to hunt some down for my yard now. They are a very pretty flower.
Then, because I liked how it applied the texture and brightened the photo but I did not like how it changed the richness of purple and greens, I added to the Silence layer:
a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer; hue +180, Saturation -100, Lightness -30
(If you group with previous it will only apply adjustments to the layer it is grouped with)
Then to brighten it a little more:
I copied the photo, brought the copy to the top at Soft Light Blending Mode 80% opacity
Be sure to check out Kim Klassen's Blog for more Tuesday Texture photos; there are some wonderful artists out there.
Have the most blessed of Tuesdays!

Awesome and majestic skies... and if a weed could be so beautiful, what more would He make of us, who were created lovingly in His image?

Amazing job! Great colors in these.
These are both amazing! Your sunflare is outstanding.
