Week Number Two...digging in my old files.
Way back when, maybe three computers ago...Word had this great AP for fooling around with photos. I so miss it.
Anyway, my husband's family is from east of Green Bay, Wi. One trip home years ago pre-2009, I went with my Mom-in-Law to track down some family geneology information with her distant cousin. Her home was really out in the middle of NOWHERE, Wisconsin. But, there were these magnificent Hollyhocks growing on the side of the family's very old clapboard farm cottage.

I actually don't have the original photo anymore---that was probably lost in the computer switches. I had kept these 3 alterations as documents, which then survived the many system changes.
The above was a straight water color Ap and I remember lightening the entire photo as the siding was grayed with age.

I really liked playing with textures that were available on that AP, everything here looks like stucco.

Playing with more of the choices, here is a tinted watercolor version...which would go with my decor then. I never did do prints...but these are so charming, I probably should do at least one, now.
The Memory is one of a lovely summer's day...a wonderful conversation, coffee with an elderly family member, and a great day with my Mom-in-Law, whom we all miss and these gorgeous Hollyhocks.
I also miss the free-tweaking Word AP with all kinds of bells and whistles that once came with my old computer system, which at that time was free with Apple/Macs.
Ha, free software---those were the good-old days!
Do have a beautiful weekend full of
Family, Flowers, and making Memories.
