CREEK AT ROARING FORK

This is a three shot HDR of a creek located off the Roaring Fork Motor Trail in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park near the Gatlinburg entrance to the park.  We were there during the last week in October and caught the fall colors at close to their peak.

MENNONITE FARM

This was one of my October entries in the OPEN division of the photo clubs Honor's Night program.  This farm was located in a Mennonite community in Tennessee and was photographed in July of this year.  I added texture an focus adjustment to give it an aged diorama appearance.

JAKE'S CREEK NEAR ELKMONT

This shot of Jake's Creek was taken from a wooden bridge that crosses it near the Elkmont campground in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.  I set up my tripod here hoping to capture some shots of the annual firefly show but it turned out to be better bug viewing down the trail.

CADES COVE FORREST #2

Here's another shot of the green forest as seen from Cades Cove Loop Road in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in Tennessee.

CADES COVE FORREST

This shot was taken in woods off Cades Cove Loop Road in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in the first week of June this year.  I liked the lighting through the trees and the slightly surreal look of the scene, which I added to in post processing.

HIGH ISLAND CROSS

This shot was taken Sunday evening on a trip to High Island shooting the BAPC topic "Beach".  There was a lot of seaweed on the beaches which didn't make for a great outing.

HANALEI TARO FIELD KAUAI

This was an evening shot of one the taro fields of Hanalei on Kauai.  Taro is the root crop that produces the infamous poi.

BNC Fall Scene

Also from the Baytown Nature Center this past weekend.

Gou Hole Rd.

I took this shot Sunday out at the old boat ramp at Gou Hole Road in Chambers County while trying to chase down a little weather front that blew through. Timing is everything on weather shots and the shot I was hoping for here really passed over this location about five minutes earlier when the skies were a bit more dramatic.

Through the Woods

A shot of an old Oak tree draping over the bank of the San Bernard River.

Brazos River Trestle

I shot this old Brazos River train trestle near West Columbia, TX this past weekend.

Buzzard Tree

I photographed this craggy tree in an area near West Columbia, TX this weekend.

BNC Dry Bog #2

Another shot of the dry bog at the Baytown Nature Center shot last weekend. I noticed this weekend that the area has benefited from an abnormally high tide the area is now back to normal.

No this is not a Peter Lik photo from Death Valley! It's another shot from the Baytown Nature Center taken last weekend. This bog would normally have anywhere from a few inches to a foot of water, but it has been dry for the last couple of weeks.

Hugo Point Bridge_2

Here's a shot from Hugo Point a couple of weeks ago shot in my Oly E-5's "Gentle Sepia" mode. I added the vignette, a little texture, and lightened the image.
