These are from Al’s and my walk pin the
Connestee Nature Park. The toning is via the Palladium Tone filter from the TLR Digital Black and White Toning Set which may no longer be available. Started to play with it and for me it gives a rich, warm feel to the images.
Trees always catch my eye with their traceries which work best against a blue sky. I also like the shadows they cast. In the Spring the first leaves are fun to watch as they emerge.
Connemara, the home of Carl Sandburg,is a great National Park site to visit with its original house and large pond, not to mention the goat farm, (https://www.nps.gov/carl/index.htm) I love the pond in the Fall.
I went to visit a friend this afternoon and on the way out of his house to my car I saw an avenue of trees along his driveway.
The colors, verticals against horizontals and layering are what I saw when I shot the first image and the delicacy of the weeds and water surface of the second appealed to me.
The late fall landscape is beautiful with its tracery of trees, warm tones shadows.
Yesterday Al, Buddy and I went riding around the woods going to the mountains. The regenerative power of nature is remarkable as displayed by the trees and brush growing into the rock that was blasted away for the road.
