photo art friday & {summertime colours} 52 Photos yr2 wk9

I have three philadelphus (mock orange) bushes in my yard...

One on either side of the house at the back corners

and one right outside my living room window.

For some reason the one in the front blossoms slightly later than the other two

so the scent is still prevalent in the yard, the house and the neighbourhood!

As the blossoms are starting to fade, 

with more than a little help from high winds and a wicked thunderstorm last night,

I collected what was left intact on the bush and brought them inside...

trying to capture the scent for just a wee bit longer, I guess

...and a few photos as well (of course!)

I layered this photo three times in PSE

using different blending modes at differing opacities

Posting to Photo Art Friday
I love that I can smell them as I type this!

Experimenting with textures on the other shots and hope to share the results early next week...

Though that shot could also fit Bella's "summertime colours" prompt over at 52 Photos Project,

I chose shots of the most recent bloomers in the garden

because they are so much more colourful!
...and for some reason I am more inclined to post SOOC for 52 Photos

Wishing everyone an awesome first weekend of summer!
