I think I’m finally getting the hang of this texture thing. It can get addictive downloading free textures, but I need to stop or I’ll get so overwhelmed I won’t do anything. The possibilities are literally endless if you have too many of them.

I need to get out and take some photos…have been doing so much experimenting and reading tutorials lately, I haven’t been shooting much. The weather has also been ghastly. It’s a bit early for dog days, but we’re in them, alas.
