Weird but true: GEORGETOWN, Texas - A woman pleaded guilty to helping her husband fake his own death by digging up a corpse from a cemetery and then staging a fiery car accident in which the body was burned beyond recognition. (TKW - obviously not quite beyond recognition)

Wow. I thought I had been thru your gallery and was wondering how I missed this. But, I checked and I see I have not been through your gallery as I thought so I will be doing that. This is gorgeous, tweaked or not. My gosh, these beautiful trees are enough to knock your socks off. You caught just the right framing of the tree trunks. I like trying to peak thru the foliage and see what is there. Looks like a river and riverbank. Luv this. Very well executed.
