Rails that Guard, rails that to keep it in the yard, rails that guide your walk, and rails that help with the battle fought, but my favorite is Riding the rails

Fall has arrived and the colors are vibrant. There are patches of autumn among the green.

Enjoy!

This picture was taken by walking out on my back porch, figured that it would warm up a few of you that where having all that snow up north.
Leaves of Autumn

There's something about this picture I like. I don't know what it is.

So I have an old HP scanner. I usually don't use it except for making copies of documents. BUT, I was home sick today and decided to try scanning some older film photos. I don't like the results too much, because they lack the real film look that the originals had and they look kinda flat, but I thought I would post them and see what advise you guys might give. (besides updating to a better scanner)

By the way, the swirls in the pics are pollution. Thank God the creek has been cleaned up since I took these and looks much cleaner. Although the swrils did help the photo, I think.

Thanks for looking.

  This past weekend the colors here were really beautiful--wanted to take a drive to the Smoky Mtn., but just did not have the time.
  My in-laws live near English Mtn so went there Sat. afternoon. Imagine, if you would, that you are standing in the back of a pick up to take this picture Beauty ,now turn around and look at this view Pano.  This is on my father-in-laws property--if the day had been clear would have been able to see different sections of Douglas Lake.
  When I preview this was not able to see all of the pano, sure hope the rest of you can.
