Spring’s Serenade (textured effect)
I’ve been fiddling with my images lately. (You might have noticed yesterday’s post – Morning Friends)
This image was originally posted last April (see Spring’s Serenade). When I first posted it I shared it with some friends and mentioned I thought it would be a perfect image for a textured effect. Well, I finally got around to trying one on.
It changes the feel of the bright, vivid original image. You should look at both and see which you prefer.

Under a Marble Sky
This is a companion to a color image of the same scene I posted a few days ago – the one I titled: Spring Enchantment.
I always find it interesting to compare the same scene in color and monochrome versions and see which I think is more appealing. Often times I can’t decide. I think I like the relaxing tones of the color version…but then I like the dramatic tone of this one. If I had to pick one…ummm…well… I guess I’d go with the color. The green grass won me over.

Spring Enchantment
The sunset and high clouds created a magical moment of enchanting color.
This was taken last Saturday in the farm field across the road from our rural Kewaunee, WI home. I have taken many photos of this tree because it offers some interest and perspective to the beautiful sunsets we can experience. I often wish there was an old barn or a little white chapel between me an the sunset. Until something else pops up, the tree will have to do.

Day’s End Elm
Along a fence row, in a farm field, across the road from my house is a lone elm tree. I’ve used it many times as the foreground for some beautiful sunsets. It strikes quite a pose in the winter…without it’s leaves.

Serene Sunset
This was one of those, “Hey, Beautiful, where have you been all my life?” moments.
I’ve been working my way through my photo files and stumbled upon this one. I took this 4 years ago and, somehow, forgot about it. There must have been something else I was working on that diverted my attention.
This was taken in the farm field across the road from my house. There was an interesting fog moving in as the sun was setting behind the tree line. I’ve photographed that big tree a lot, because it’s the only thing around that I can add to the foreground of my sunset photos.
If you like this image…please, feel free to share it.

Rural Sunset
Just another stunning sunset at our rural Kewaunee County, WI home. I snapped this a few minutes after the sun dipped below the horizon on Tuesday, May 17, 2011.
I took these with my Sony SLT-A55. I used the “sunset” setting on the above photo. The photo below was taken using the “sweep panorama” mode.
