Well, as I said with my first one, I love trees!
I decided to enter another LO I did earlier. This one was done for a challenge to create a LO with simple, clean style with no visual clutter. It ended up being one of my favorites--maybe because I'm not used to creating with so much blank space, and I could see that it was a cool technique. Besides, I just like this tree!
I fell in love with this view on the way back from my mailbox this summer (over a 1/4 mile walk). The tall, lone cedar casting that big shadow in the middle of the field just ‘spoke to me’. He's an East Tennessee Cedar (farmers call them scrub cedars here because they pop up everywhere), He's been out there alone for a long time now, had part of himself sheered off by lightening, and still lives on.
Getting so involved with Photoshop and scrapbooking (more than my yearly reunion pages) has reminded me to ‘see’ pictures everywhere--like the years after I got my good 35mm camera back in the mid-to-late-70’s. I used to head out in my car looking for photo opportunities all the time. And I was so adventurous back then, too—heading up to the mountains in the Pantera (my ‘race car’) on snowy days, trekking down unknown country roads to find neat scenes—never feeling afraid of being in the middle of nowhere in a car that was definitely NOT made for rural roads. Where did that girl go???? And I need to find those old slides . . .
