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.
