Days Five and Six -- Christmas Textures

Between Day Four of Kim's 12 Days of Textures and today's Day Six, my husband, sister and I drove across the state of Oregon to get some recall work done on our new car.  7 hours in the dealership (we did visit a mall for an hour) and we were finished.  (5 1/2 hrs of driving each way)  

Day Five  features the texture "Zuzu," so that's what I'm calling the female mallard duck who was looking for handouts at our rest stop along the Columbia River.  There was a  flock of mallards, male and female, at the little park, and one pair was working the sidewalk at the parking lot.  

Day Six features Kim's "More Magic"---I chose the version without scratches.    The image is an ornament on the tree in the Subaru dealership where I spent essentially all day on Friday.   (I'll try brushes later, when I've "brushed up" on Kim's tutorial again!)
