Mystery...

...is the theme for this week's Abstract Thursday and l suppose to be truthful it's a bit of a mystery how l arrived at this!
Took a photograph of the spectacular ( and only one !) artichoke growing splendidly in my garden. Used various apps and processing to build up all the colour. I used aviary, pip and Photolab . Finally added these sparklies wth Superphoto, can't tell you exactly how l did it, next time l should write it down step by step!

Thank to Robert ( youorigon1) for hosting, sorry l missed last week's celebration but thank you for all the effort and enthusiasm you have put into these challenges for over a year, well done.
