This has a harmonious blend of color, shadow, and light. A lovely photograph. I'd like to cover my entire wall with this one. Thanks for sharing.

What a capture Jan....I love the varying shades of light that are in this image along with the different shades of leaves& the water vs. the ground...it all makes me think of lot's of textures. This is a 'touchy feel' picture. I feel like I can touch what is there & can feel what it would be like if I were there! Into my fav's on my HD & thank you :))

My goodnes Jan; This is by far one of the best fall images I've seen. I live out in the far west, so we don't have hardwood forests to enjoy. Most emphatically a 10 x 10. Only wish I could give it more. It's also going into my favorites.

I live right by this and you have done a great job in capturing the serenity in a place only a stones throw from the turnpike.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

A true beauty. Exquisite. It's going in files as well. I have relatives that live up that area. I must call them and make they are aware of this park. The part of the photo that I like best is the way the light and scenery plays through the trees in the upper part of the photo. It is delightful to look at. Pat
