A Day With the Gulls


When I saw the theme for this week's 4x4 Friday (A Boy and a Bird) I right away thought of a photo I had taken of my son who was 2 at the time and some seagulls and how he was fascinated by them. I overlayed the photo after cropping onto a background (artist papers - Christine Adolph) and added fresco and paint daubs filters. A sort of digital scrapbooking.

    That's a great photo to start with! I like gulls too-strange birds. I like the other parts of the picture too-is that called a sand dollar-the round object? Lovely collage! Thanks for your kind comments on my drawings-I have been having fun!

    That's cute! I took my son to London for the day last summer and he absolutely loved chasing the pigeons!!
