Autumn Burning Bush

A few years ago I got a pictures of a burning bush in our neighbor’s yard.  It always puts on am awesome display in the fall with its bright red leaves.  I used software to give the photo a more “painterly” look.

Several years ago Betsy and I got up early in the morning (before dawn) to drive to the Smokey Mountains.  We stopped at an overlook on the Gatlinburg Bypass to watch the sun come up, where I got a picture of the sunrise.  I later used software to make the photo look more like a water color painting.  I hope you like it.

We live in a beautiful part of the country, and we often visit the Smokey Mountains.  I’ve taken many pictures of the mountains  and sky, and I usually save them as photo.  But I occasionally experiment with different “looks.”  I used software to make one of my photos look more like a water color.

Betsy and I visited Pike’s Peak in Colorado for the first time in 2014.  Although we were eager to get to the summit to enjoy the view, we stopped on our drive to the summit at Crystal Creek Reservoir, where I got this photo of the mountains and their reflection in the water.

Big Sky

Several years ago, Betsy and I traveled from Yellowstone to Mt. Rushmore.  Along the way we got to enjoy some of the scenery in Montana.  I can see why they call it 'Big Sky Country'.
