Thanksgiving Day is past and gone, and rarely celebrated here in Australia, but on the Web it is still being used as a theme for numerous things. Kim Klassen has suggested Gratitude to being the theme for this week’s Texture Tuesday, so here goes.
I posted this one earlier on Shutter Sisters Flickr group for their One Word project, but it fits the bill with a change of wording. This image was processed using one of Kim’s Textures and a preset from Radlab while I had a month’s trial. It was to express my thanks to my family who gave me this camera 12 months or so ago, which has opened my eyes and led to a whole new world of challenges, friendships and fun.
The following are my two faithful canine companions, both are rescue dogs for whom I am eternally grateful. They will never know, but I would like to express my gratitude to their previous owners who, for whatever, reason no longer wanted them. Also of course, to the dogs themselves – they are the best, loyal and devoted of friends and I’m lucky to have them.
Maggie has been processed using Kim’s textures: Phoebe, Blue Bayou and Canvas Back in different blending modes and opacity.
Bella’s photo also uses the texture called Phoebe, plus two from Shadowhouse Creations: Raggedy Paper and Grab Bag.

how special – wonderful processing with the camera – looks like a fab lens; and, your Maggie and Bella are beautiful. you are well blessed. thank you for sharing, kareninkenai {texture tuesdays}
Both dogs are BEAUTIFUL! Bella made me laugh!!!
fabulous to have two such magnificent companions to be grateful for!
What wonderful portraits of your beautiful dogs!
Your capture of Bella is an absolute “smiler”! Such an image is spectacular as I know how difficult it is to coordinate–through the ball, hold the camera, call the dog, focus … a challenge to be sure. Nice job!
