My Valentine

My husband is not only my Valentine; he's most certainly, my better half. One of these days I'll borrow his wedding ring off his finger and snap a picture of our rings together. But until that happens, his dog tags will have to do. 

I should also mention that today marks two years since he gave me part of the ring below! We added on the rest of it as the wedding band one year ago next week. 

  

Hue + Texture {greens and piney}

I don't know when I stumbled upon Marta Locklear's blog, but I'm completely floored by her work. I'm in awe of her style and amazed at how she captures her subjects. I literally find myself going back to the same photos and just staring at them, because I think they're so beautiful. Goodness! 

A few weeks ago she started a Hue and Texture challenge. She mentions a color and texture and then it's your job to bring it to life...or just look at everyone's great work. Well, this time I decided to play along. I'm really happy with the way the following turned out, so I hope you like them, too. This was my first time using the macro setting on my camera outside.
