Captured this smiling pretty pink flower while on one of my visit's to Mackinaw Island over the summer 2015, I think it's a Dahlia of some kind.

Thought this would make a Lovely Friday Foofy. Did the post work using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to bring out more detail and layers to work on the background so the blossom would really pop. Then used iPiccy.com to bring it down in size.

Might not be on much due to the competition and working long hours there. I'll try and keep up commenting.

Have a Great weekend, ♥ Skates

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
