Pictures at the lake

I got my jeans dirty taking pictures at the lake last month, but it was worth it to get these few good ones:

















I was experimenting with long exposure vs. short exposure on the water, but the end result of this photo was rather gray and unappealing. Adding a few effects in Lightroom perked it up and gave it an artistic feel.





Anyone for an old-fashioned picnic???





Just a sign post...


I found a tree with a birds' nest really low to the ground. The tree trunk was also surrounded by litter, so when I saw the golf ball, I just "rearranged" things a little......





The colors of these trees were beautiful without any enhancements, but I really liked the artistic nature of this final product.

3rd one if definitely my favorite
