I’m out and about once again! My knee isn’t 100% perfect, but I walked around our little lake the other day for the first time ever. I stopped to take some pics of birds which I will be posting soon, but I couldn’t resist the beautiful willow that gracefully hangs into the lake. I love these willows! It felt good to be out with my camera on my own again!

High five! Oh, and beautiful shot, too.
November 20, 2014 at 7:36 am
Hi5 back! Thank you Ellen 🙂
November 20, 2014 at 7:38 am
It’s nice that are you are able to get out and moving a bit more. That scenery is quite a bit different than what we have in WI right now. Snow is already covering the ground and it’s been in the teens these past few days. But, I like the winter and can’t wait until more snow comes falling down.
November 20, 2014 at 8:01 am
I know you love winter. 🙂 I think I would shrivel up and die. I don’t even have much in the way of winter apparel. I kind of just endure the chillier temps and wait for spring again lol. I’ll look forward to your pics though. I do love snow images and I hope to see some in person this year.
November 20, 2014 at 7:59 am
Great to see you are out and about and inspiring us with your beautiful photos. This one’s a stunner, which has a wonderful painterly quality about it. Lovely 🙂
November 20, 2014 at 8:01 am
Thank you Andrew. This time I didn’t use any oil paint plug in.
November 20, 2014 at 8:15 am
So glad you get to walk around your lake 🙂 Thank you so much for the beautiful photo, Laura!
November 20, 2014 at 8:20 am
Thank you Amy…I felt so accomplished! About the walk I mean. lol And thanks about the photo. 🙂
November 20, 2014 at 8:32 am
Take care, Laura!
November 20, 2014 at 9:43 am
You too!
November 20, 2014 at 8:52 am
Ooh, superb, Laura! I so love the glow, the colors, the detail in the bark, and most of all that glorious reflected light on the tree! Kudos! 🙂
November 20, 2014 at 9:43 am
Thank you Katrina! And if you can believe this….no oil paint plug in! LOL
November 20, 2014 at 10:15 am
Gorgeous. Love it!

loving the golden glow of this one!!
November 20, 2014 at 6:01 pm
Thank you! I actually revised it and uploaded it onto my website. I thought perhaps there was just a little too much gold and not enough contrast. I think I am never happy with my images LOL.
November 20, 2014 at 6:03 pm
oh it was a dreamy scene!!! love it!!
November 20, 2014 at 6:08 pm

Congratulations with being back on your knee again. Must be awesome. You certainly captured an awesome photo. Looks like a fairy tale – and such wonderful colours.
November 21, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Thank you! It is very exciting after three years of struggling with knee replacements. I’m so glad you enjoyed this image and I did think fairy tale as well!

Glad to hear the knee if better and what a lovely photo
