Another shot of my favorite lighthouse to photograph on the Oregon Coast.  This is a single exposure (not long) that was converted using Silver Effex 2 and Additional filters like cross processing in Color Effex.
5/21/13 - Palouse Falls State Park, WA; it seems not a lot of people are aware of this amazing waterfall which drops into a basin carved out of basalt by gigantic floods during the last Ice Age.  It is located in eastern Washington.  I had added it to my photography bucket list after seeing an image of it on smugmug.  It did not disappoint.  I think it drops over 100 feet.  It is actually a HUGE waterfall.

Thanks for your comments on my shot of the landscape on the road into Zion National Park.  Much appreciated.
May 21, 2013. I think this is Columbine but I'm not sure. Taken on Sunday when I went to the Shepherdstown Back Alley Garden Tour in WV. Thanks so much for your nice comments, I'll try to catch up soon... I'm still working 6 days a week.

"OPULENT ORANGE"

"The rose has been a favorite flower of poets since poetry began. Maybe it's because like a poem, a rose can say so much without saying much at all. The soft silky feel of a fresh rose petal evokes tenderness; the fragrant scent of a fresh spring rose brings refreshment; the vibrant colors of red, pink, peach, purple, orange, yellow, and white roses remind us of the dazzling beauty of creation; and getting pricked by a thorn causes pain. Roses are a reflection of life." ~ Denise by Designs

SOOC, uncropped, no flash - another rose from our neighbor's (to the right) yard

I like the subtle overshadowing to the right.

Thanks for your comments on yesterday's "The Power of Two" roses photo.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Day 140 - Purple Roses
Tried my hand at smoke photography tonight.  It was easier than I thought.  This is my favorite one so far.
