As I converted this 'homestead' into the old covered bridge, I remembered how many times we took our children to see the covered bridges in our area. We ate a picnic lunch, and the kids hunted for crabs and just had a ball - without cell phones or computers to distract them. Those, indeed, were the 'good old days'.
Thanks to the following at morguefile.com for their wonderful photos: bluesduke for the stream; Chi for the dog, Charlie;
anitapatterson for the mudpuddlegirl; phaewilk for the beachday child; and phaewilk for the boy; The dandelions are mine.

nice chopping, but you need to alter the saturation/tone of the kids and dog so that they fit with the background ... WELL DONE !! Reply »

Create couple of color layers to achieve better blending.Maybe one dark blue overlay layer and one dark brown color layer.Or u could instead brown or above brown to create dark green soft light layer.That way u gonna have way better blending...gl Reply »
