"Vision is the way you see the world. In big strokes, but also in the small strokes, one frame at a time.

Vision is the unique angle from which you alone see things, and the unique way in which your eyes - and perhaps more importantly, your mind and heart - filter this world. It's everything to the photographer: the stories you want to tell, and the way you want to tell them. Vision is that original spark that was ignited within you and made you pick up a camera to capture whatever it is you saw, that made you turn to shout "Did you see that!" only to find no one there - so you created an image to do the telling. "

- - David duChemin, Vision & Voice

I have wanted to do a night shot of this scene for some time. The light as it shines on the remaining leaves on the tree ares almost iridescent. But - this shot was not taken at night. It was taken right around sunset. It was an "o.k." shot, but I really wanted to do something different with it and played around with Photoshop to create this image.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and stars for my 500th blip! You are all the very best, and I really appreciate you all.
