My first camera was an Argus C3 given to me by my Uncle. Became interested and over the intervening years I have done photography and stopped, only to start again. Have begun again in the last 4 years with Canon Digital Point and Shoots. I have no training in the arts or photography. I have read some of Ansel Adam’s series, never finished.. I have learned a lot from seeing the fantastic images here.

    Very nice. I like how this root just snakes around. There is much movement here.

  • Hello Valarie, yes the view is incredible, you should see it for real. Thanks for your compliment on my representation of it! Appreciate it!

    Glenn, this is so beautiful…one of my favorite scenes in the North Carolina forests! Big fave!

  • Hello Tibby, Glad you like it, I do too. It does not seem to draw very much attention though. Well, I shoot what I like, maybe that is amateurish, but I know what I find appealing! Thanks for the lovely comment and the fave. If I could I would live in NC, just visit friends once a year |:-( !
