Sunlight Under a Live Oak Tree

Explore #23

After arriving home from work and getting ready to eat supper, I looked out the window and saw beautiful colors shining from the setting sun. I hurried outside to capture it. The majority of the trees in south Georgia stay green all year round; therefore, I must find other colors from other sources.

Actually the tree trunk is a pine tree which stays green all year, and branches from a nearby live oak tree are showing in the foreground. Live oaks stay green all year too and are Georgia's state tree.

This photo is straight from the camera--just my back yard. All I did in PhotoShop was add my name in the corner.

Mim, actually when I looked out the window I thought, "There's a monet-like image right before my eyes." In real life I could see the haziness more clearly. I thought I'd added it, but now I have.

Ah, you have this listed with CC licensing, but a copyright bug on the photo, so you might want to update your licensing to prevent any issues with folks using it?

This is my best photo. I really don't want people to use it.

opie_jeanne says:

Good for you.

I sometimes allow people to use my photos and my grandfather's Hollywood photos for projects IF THEY ASK and if their project looks good to me. I just by chance discovered that someone had lifted one of my photos to use on his blog, without permission. That was earlier this evening and I'm still steaming.

What a jerk!

Old Shoe Woman says:

I use this link to keep up with "who is using my photos" on blogs.
link:http://www.flickr.com/photos/judybaxter /

You can do the same by substituting your flickr photostream web address.

opie_jeanne says:

Thank you very much.

I tried to use one not long ago, maybe this one, and it came up empty. Maybe the guy only took my photo since then.

Are you sure that's the right web address? Because all I get is my own photo stream.

I did this quickly and left off a part of it.

Thank you very much.

It brought up four pages of sites, some of which I already knew about, but most not at all.
