Sun Flare Party



I am joining Tracy at Tracy's Trinkets and Treasures Sunrise, Sunset or Sun Flare Photo Party today.

I shared these photos before but I thought that they would fit right in with her party. :)

This sunset over Lake Michigan was taken last summer,
I only lightened a bit in Picnik.

A bit of Sun flare down at the marina.
I just added a bit of color and edited it with Picnik.
One day I will get Photoshop and learn how to use all the yummy textures and actions.




Until next time...... enjoy your day!!!


Hugs!!

near the end of our walk last night, we witnessed a gorgeous sunset with similar colors across the lake - the mountains were a dark blueish purple with lots of dark pink, it was SO pretty!

Terrific photos! Sorry I've been missing, viruses and a trip of Island have prevented me from commenting.

I hope you don't mind I post this scientific discovery here, as photos are art! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-news/8500012/Brain-scans-reveal-the-power-of-art.html Aloha Raliegh

I am a TOOOOOOOOTAL fan of sunsets. Total fan. I could stare and stare at them. In fact, I do. I squeeze every last drop of loveliness out of the views I see.

Nothing quite compares to a Lake Michigan sunset (I'm pretty partial though;)) Gorgeous pictures, as usual, Michelle! I wish I had your knack for photography...my sunsets never quite turn out.

Enjoy the warmth!! I hope you have a fabulous week friend!
