"picniking" on the riverwalk...






Last week I brought my camera on our River Walk. 
We have just over 8 miles of paved trails around town all on the river!
It is very rare to go for a walk and not see people jogging, biking or roller blading.
This is the first part of the regular walk that Duane and I take for our daily excersize.
(we do not do all 8 miles on our walk, but we are planning on increasing our regular amount)

no pain no gain

what crazy person said that?

I have been wanting to play with picnik since I took these,  Picnik is a new creative outlet for me : )
We have 3 of these iron bridges on the trail, aren't they gorgeous?



 
Here is another of the iron bridges, this one is curved at the top like the other,
but I still think it is beautiful.
Our town received a 'cool city' grant a few years ago so many of the stores got
makeovers... front and backs.
The store owners picked the colors and the awnings.
I love the different colors they picked.




This steeple just pops out at you when you cross the bridge in town.

I wish I could tell you all of the textures that I used in Picnik,
I just played with each one until I liked what I saw and then I layered 3 or 4 on top of eachother.
I suppose having a pencil and paper handy would be a good thing... hmmmmm?
I don't even think I could duplicate these!
Good thing they are saved to the computer, or I'd probably forget I even made them!

50 + menopause + low thyroid = some serious brain fog
keeping it real...

Happy Tuesday!

love,

ohhhhh it feels good to be back!
