The Plains,From Swamp to Mountains

[manumuskin]

First off today Me ,my wife and Sophie headed for an area of plains that I've grown fond of east of 539.On the advice of a friend I found that a road could be driven by my truck that i thought was too narrow so I decided to try it and after one very tricky spot where I almost bottomed out on a concrete monument I made it into the mountainous plains.

We then proceeded to return to an area Bill and I checked out last week under severe time restraints.I got a much better look around today.A beautiful pond situated on Plains Branch

and then we returned to a nice vernal Bill and I found last week to eat lunch and let Soph get soaked one last time.Definitely a Water Dawg!

My wife took the pics and about half were right on the other half were somewhat overexposed so I wizarded them but the areas really were this beautiful today.

As I said before, keep that camera in her hand. It looks like a great spot and I wish we had not skipped it on one of our last outings.

Al, that first pond looks stellar! Where is it? Is that a deck built on the water? Great shots!

Momma can frame a good shot but she strictly shoots on auto and our camera sometimes over exposes on auto though sometimes it's right on.I find if I cut down on the brightness a little,add a little contrast and maybe just barely touch temperature or color sat it makes it look like it really did to the eye,of course without the 3D effect.Nothing like being here though.
