TextureTuesday with Kim Klassen and some green goodness

i'm joining up with Kim Klassen for Texture Tuesday. today is the 'Anything Goes eDition' and i thought that i could use one of my own created textures and several different photos from within my archives and join in.
the base texture for this image is the same one i posted a few days ago.
it's always interesting to see all of the different talent that decides to join into this event.


i mentioned that my phalaenopsis (moth orchid) was  sending out some stalks with buds . . . no flowers yet, but i can be patient . . .
if you don't happen to be feeling that patient, check this out.







my small nine patch from Cheri's SAL is now basted but i can't seem to get serious about choosing and starting the quilting.
maybe i'm a little distracted by the seasonal changes . . .









recent gifts include:
  • waking up to sunshine
  • hearing the birds celebrating that sunshine in all out spring song
  • seeing a few gold fish in the pond as they begin to feel a bit warmer and move around more





can anyone guess what this last shot is? i'll send a small sweet surprise to whomever guesses correctly first. (within the comments)

    I love the first photo.
    The last photo looks like Sedum 'Autumn Joy' .

    Pansies popping up? Sweet peas?
    I couldn't find sweet pea seeds at the grocery. Sad! I must venture forth to the garden center!

    I will guess Ranunculus.
    Spring is in full swing here in the desert. I need to capture some photos!

    I have no idea what plant that is peeping through, but I LOVE THE BIRDS on the opening photo.
    Cutest doll quilt - I love nine patches and the setting is really nice.

    Beautiful photo! You do such varied things with your photo magic!
    Love the pink border and sashing on your 9-patch. To me, 9-patches call for simplicity.
    I have no clue what that is sprouting in your garden. Such a pretty shade of green.

    Love your little finches and your texture! Nicely done! The last shot looks like a sedum, but I don't know which variety.

    I love your texture. Is it printed on cloth? It would make a wonderful picture, or set of pictures.
