A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

One of my favorite forms of "art" (though I certainly wouldn't consider myself an artist) is photography. With how busy student teaching had turned out to be, I didn't pick up my Canon DSLR from the first weekend in October of 2011 to January 6, 2012. That is the longest time, since I first had a camera of my own in 3rd grade,  that I had ever gone without nature photography. When you're tired and stressed enough, sometimes you lose joy in your old pastimes...

We had an unusually warm winter day for WV, and with ice still on the river, I headed down to Prickett's Fort State Park to eat lunch. I ended up going back about an hour after I left and ended up there at the perfect time to take pictures at sunset. The only "retouching" I did was to adjust the curves in Photoshop so the colors were more true to reality. Enjoy!
