"Of Trees and Turtles"

[jonny_redhorse]

After a morning of back breaking work installing a block retaining wall (actually been working on it since June!)...I managed to get out for a couple hours up on Maple Hill here in Hibbing to try and find some early fall colors...just recently been designated as a new sceninc type nature/hiking trail park....Nice for sure!..great for those nature pics!....here's a few from this late morning...

a small secluded pond in the park "loaded" with painted turtles...

Love those turtles just chillin'. Your edge softness technique is especially effective in the first image.

Great stuff!

Jonny, those are really fantastic. I like the second image the best. Your effects are great!!

Really looks like you're going to catch fall from beginning to end! All very nice!
