MONO MONDAY PLUS
"The Last Dance ~ A Season Comes To A Close"
To Join in the fun one last time or view the other post Click on our Gator below:
Although I was one of the first to click on Gator's page and join up for Mono Monday...
It took me six months to do the first one....
Only right that I should be late with this one
(Although you would think I would have learned something about all the fun you miss when you are late!)
When I finally broke down and jumped into the fire ~ lol ~ the first thing I learned
was how to turn a picture B&W and pull back some color...
so I did one of those of my grandson for my Last Mono Monday!
Than I learned layers... thanks to Rita's help. I haven't stopped with layering since ~ lol.
This is a quote I used in one of my Image & Words post but different picture
(ROFL ~ certainly not a new picture around here),
which I turned B&W, and added another layer too (The beach).
There is no way to thank everyone that taught me so much during Mono Monday...
Saw so many really neat pictures.... met some really nice people...
And Gary, we thank you so much!!!
And I had to add this last ~ one of my first and favorite layer pictures of our Gator...
It was for his Birthday but it seen so appropiate to put it here also!
And last I want to thank you for never fussing about my music....
and always having something good to say about it!
You have to be the best Gator in the Swamp!
Linda, you always find a way to make me smile. This time is no different, although a bit teary-eyed as well. Your grandson is a beautiful child... how could you not want to share him with everyone?!
ReplyDeleteAnd the picture of you and my favorite Penguin... there's where the tears start... of happiness and hope. Hope for the two of you, and for myself and the one I love.
And lastly, our fellow aquatic... Gator. It's a wonderful picture to begin with. Our ever attentive Gator watching over us all, while pondering "what's next". Beautiful job, Linda. I'm happy you posted, late, or not!
what can i say linda other than wow! the bottom pic will always be my favorite, i love what you've done with your gorgeous grandsons pic, and the beach layers with the quote is amazing. stunning and well worth the visit as always. never heard that version of save the last dance before, but it was bouncy and cheerful. hugsssssssssss
ReplyDeleteWonderful so truly wonderful and I am singing and swaying in my seat..thanks Linda.
ReplyDeleteLinda what a wonderful blog. Your music as always is perfect as is your work on those photos. I know how Gator must feel when he looks at all of our posts. You have taken the little thing I taught you and made it your. Your grandson is so precious and that picture of you and Pengy is just perfect. I have always loved you Gator Birthday shot.

ReplyDeleteawww grawmps. thou always impresses me!
ReplyDeleteWell....it's fitting .....my best friend in high school always got to have a first kiss and last dance and I stood watching and dreaming. Some things don't change. Enjoy the dance with our gator and soon to be more kisses with your love. (You learned well and I know if I ever get the time and energy you will teach me what you've learned too.) LOVE the music.
ReplyDeleteyou are so clever with words..and images..and music! yes, the music works again!
ReplyDeleteVery cool especially struck by the babies eyes....good job....loved it...
ReplyDeleteAs a bystander...I have to say...I love everyone of the pictures you've done...these three in fact are priceless.
ReplyDeleteAww love the baby blues on the top one. They are all awesome!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh your Grnadson is the sweetest and you did great job....the second is so romantic!....the third is WONDERFUL tribute to the Gator!
ReplyDeleteSpecial indeed /:-) Each beautiful and full of meaning!
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful! I should have found a dolphin pic like at the top of your page for my garden pic, but all I found was the Orca whale which no one even recognized. LOL Lovely job on all of them and thanks for stopping!
ReplyDeleteLOL I see a smile behind that pacifier! Ahhhhh on the second, when can we do that again? And what big eyes Gator has! To see all and know all and as someone said above, to watch over us. I had not heard this version of Last Dance before, really like it, though with a bit of sadness as this is the last MM. Which has given me an idea, I am going to drown my sorrow in a two pound bag of M&Ms!!!!!! Eating the green ones first in honor of that greenish reptilian who taught us all, and even put up with us!!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is adorable and I love the blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteYour second is so romantic, and Gator on gator is just awesome.
MM will be missed.
