Me, Nature & my Camera

Here we go with the first of many entries
to come. This past Sat. I went to a park in Waxahachie, TX. I believe
it is spelled Getzendaner Park. One of many things that it offers is
beautiful and sometimes hidden trails throughout the surrounding forest.

I hiked for about 2mi in the woods before hitting the open and
heading back around to my car. I followed the trails along the river
and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and crisp morning air. It was a tad
chilly, but not that bad. The shadows were amazing that day. As you can
see in the slideshow,
the trees here are old and beautiful. I have found more intriguing and
unique trees here, than anywhere else in Tx. Even when they have fallen
they still obtain tremendous beauty and remain art for the eyes.

At some point I came across a large and mysterious pipe coming out
of the ground on one side of the river and going back in the ground on
the other side. I’m assuming it was either water or sewage pipes. So,
across I went. I stopped in the middle and sat to take some pictures
and enjoy my strange position, and then I proceeded with my journey. On
the other side I continued on the path until I could go no further and
I had already exhausted my 2 sets of batteries. So, I headed back a
little ways to where I had seen an opening and cut across to the road.

I will be adding more photos from Getzandaner Park soon. It is a
wonderful park and I have lots left to explore before moving on. All
images have not been modified, although I plan to use some of them.
Those will be posted separately. I did adjust settings on my camera
while taking pictures, though.

Please, send your feedback!
