Dear Silas Photo Challenge learning Textures
There are very kind folks that graciously share free textures.
The one I turn to most often is
Shadowhouse Creations
Specifically, I would love to be able to create soft, light, misty type images.
I have tried reducing the saturation and opacity but still can’t get the look I want.

The Swing, at the Playground with MomMom and Great Grandmother
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside–
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown–
Up in the air I go flying again,
Me and My Shadow with Brenna Meghan
Sitting at my desk I hear footsteps coming
‘Round the corner she comes to see me as she rubs her
eyes in the early morning light.
Robert Louis Stevenson
From Child’s Garden of Verses
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow–
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close behind me, he’s a coward you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Playing with Mom-Mom’s Barbie’s
Friday morning after a week long visit.
Playing with Barbie, Francie, Casey, Skipper, Tutti and friends.
Remember I told you what a perfectionist she was at sewing?
Well, take a look at some of her knitted work.
I am amazed at the tiny detail in each dress and accessory.
I don’t think she even used a pattern.
and the suitcase has compartments.

How to Catch Sunnies
(from eHow)
jQuery(‘.intro .thumbnail’).each(function(i,e){ jQuery(e).find(‘img’).one(‘error’,function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); }); });
Things You’ll Need:
- rod and reel with fishing line
- a small hook
- a float (bobber)
- bait
- Step 1
Attach a small hook to the end of the fishing line.
- Step 2
Attach a float (bobber) 1′ to 4′ from the hook.
- Step 3
Put bait on the hook. Sunnies are not picky eaters. Some typical bait used to catch sunnies is dough, bread, worms, and small bait fish. Personally, I prefer dough because it is easy to find and easy to use.
- Step 4
Cast (if need be) the line into the water.
- Step 5
Let it sit. When a fish takes the bait and gets hooked, the float will go under water. Then reel it in.
- Step 6
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#jsArticleStep6 span.image a:first’).attr(‘href’,’https://i.ehow.com/images/a05/06/47/catch-sunnies-1.6-800X800.jpg’); });
A good method for removing the fish from the hook is to grab the hook with a pliers (a needle nose pliers works best) and twist and shake it so that the fish falls off. Sometimes it is necessary to hold the fish and work the hook out.
