Here are a few from Filoli Historic House and Gardens in Woodside, California, made a few weeks back.

Hi Bill,

I really like those, particularly the first one.

This one works best for me. The dappled light is nice. The oak and eucalyptus foliage create a nice effect. Similar to AA's portrait of a woman in her garden, in either The Negative or The Print.

Bill Poole: Nice captures of the Filoli house. A polarizer could have made the second one better.

Thanks, Leigh, cassis, Jim. Yes, I was aware of the reflection issue on the second one, Jim. I'm not sure I have a polarizer for that lens--I will have to dig around and see. Sometimes I like the additional abstraction from the reflections in window images, but they don't do a whole lot for me here. Thanks again, all.

Two prints from last August in California. Shot handheld on a Fuji GW690III.

I think the reflection add depth. I'd stick with them.

This past Sunday I woke up bright and early to go to Congaree National Park, southeast of Columbia, SC. This park is stunningly beautiful and I really need to go camp for a spell there during the rainy season. I want to see the woods flooded, which apparently happens regularly.

The early-morning light was fantastic and I blew through several rolls of Acros. Here's two of my favorite images from the first roll I developed this morning.

This park is stunningly beautiful

Excellent, I imagine you could spend a lot time exploring that part of the world--but maybe only between December and early March. FWIW, "The Congarees" was really the crossroads of the "back parts" of Carolina, lying as it did at the junction of the Catawba and Cherokee trading paths--John Lawson's A New Voyage to Carolina might spark your imagination for your next trip there.

Thanks for the suggestion! I am used to hiking in south GA / north FL in the summers (a.k.a. every month not in those ranges ) so I am used to the heat/humidity/mosquitoes. I would love to see the algae bloom at this park and wade through the cypress.

Here's one more from later in the day, on the elevated boardwalk area:



And now, a very different landscape - taken the next day on my return drive through GA - a photo from Warwoman Dell recreation area:
