It began with a birthday balloon from the artist's muse
It was my birthday last week and we decided to celebrate by taking a walk in the woods. From our front door, we walked all the way to the little bridge over Chestnut Lick, about two miles each way. It took about an hour and a half and these pictures are the result. All were shot on my Panasonic DMC-FZ18 in JPEG Fine and processed in LightZone 3.2.
