Fall Shadows...

savoring...

these are some trees that are growing right next to one of the many vineyards in Walla Walla.
the smell of the grapes against the smell of the poplars was unbelievable.
it just made you want to brew something up with all of the scents around you and drink it up.

the fall is for savoring all that is around you. you must do it quickly and effectively because it won't last. soon it will fade away and then winter will be here. encasing everything with a heavy frost, preserving it until spring.

I hope everyone gets a chance to get out this weekend and savor something with someone you love.

Mill Creek, Ortonized...

Mill Creek in Walla Walla is a beautiful place to soak up the local urban wildlife, while enjoying the cool breeze through the many trees surrounding it and the lovely scenery.
Mill Creek is one of the major tributaries that runs into the Walla Walla River.

the Orton effect was applied to the original photo to give it more of a vibrant glow.
it's an effect that works great with pictures that have alot of gold color.
