Where we used to walk!

Lighroom, Painter, Photoshop CS4, smudge brush and lots of layer masks.
First image for the New Year is a photo of our late Teena taken four years ago at Terrigal Beach and the other near the Skillion last week. I thought it would be lovely to combine the two.
I mentioned to Graham it looks like two people in the picture, he said it was Teena's nose! LOL to me it looks like a couple with an arm around each other! Thank you for looking and have a great day. Graham and ~Pat

"Sailing" sung by Declan Galbrieth.It is only now I can work on Teena's portrait without feeling so sad after her death.
Looking at the image I can remember the good times we had, this is one of them, our stomping ground as it were! ~Pat and Graham

The photo reminds me of the 'Rainbow Bridge'...where pets go to wait 'till our arrival, Pat and Graham.I still think of our first lab, Thor (who was euthanized October, 1999 and of course...of Draco who is done 2 1/2 years)

Oh Melodie, you are the only person apart from myself who can see the couple.I believe as you do it is Graham and myself enjoying another walk with Teena.
And he said it was her nose Lol. How romantic is that!
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend and observing what I saw.
It was on my 'to do' list to delete the remark I had made thinking I was quite mad... but I forgot!
