Texture Tuesday - Rain Bokeh

I almost wasn't going to participate in Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday challenge today. The theme is Gratitude, and I was seriously uninspired.

When I was going through my google reader yesterday, I was catching up on all the blog-reading I missed last week due to the holiday. So many, many bloggers posted quotes about gratitude and giving thanks. So, I decided to do up a photo last minute using a gratitude quote.

I found this photo of bokeh created by raindrops shining in the setting sun, and I thought it fit this quote perfectly:


Gratitude is an art of painting adversity into a lovely picture. 


After processing in LR3, I used one layer of subtly yours on multiply at 69%.
