Sorry I didn't get to check yesterday, but I've seen them both now ... and love this one that allows a little more of a feeling for the area.

@Judy: It shows the tops of the pine trees. It was a striking scene!

An excellent image of the new trees growing.

The contrast in green between the under-story trees and the canopy is most interesting. Still can't get over the amazing straightness of the pines (if that's what they are).

@Earnest: I think they are pines, I wonder what it will look like in the fall?

Lovely woodlands, it's good to be close to nature. I have a few trees coming up in a few days.

@Observing: The whole preserve is lovely... it's my favorite place.

A beautiful shot Betty. I too like this one the best because it really shows the little pines coming up between the taller trees. I wonder what it will look like 10 or 15 years from now. Great contrast in colors.

@Marion: Thank you, Marion.

Another wonderful view of a pretty area (at least it looks that way from all your pictures there). I liked yesterday a bit more, the extra bit around the edges on this one is a bit distracting and the sky is a bit washed out.

@Chris: I liked yesterday's shot better, also. But I thought I should show what the area looked like. That was actually the color of the sky that day, it was very misty and everything was gray. You could hardly see across the water.
@Michael Rawluk: Thank you, Michael.

It looks like a very well kept woodland in any case, very picturesqe. I love the greens - despite what I did to yesterdays shot!
