Yesterday when going to meet the Blind man at my house (he can actually see…he just sells blinds), I nearly wrecked my car when I drove by this scene.
Thank goodness I’ve taken everyone’s advice and I tote my camera EVERYWHERE I go.
I knew I had to turn the car around and shoot some photos, it was so beautiful! The orange leaves, the way the trees lined the road along the cemetery, the sun and how it filtered through the leaves…
I couldn’t wait to get home and play around on Photoshop with the photos, I had just Stumbled on some free textures on Flickr and wanted to see if I could figure out how to use them.
Of course I never have been able to figure out how to do the vignette in Photoshop, so I just added that part using THE GREATEST PHOTO SOFTWARE ON THE INTERNET, Picnik. (PS…I’m giving away a PREMIUM Picnik subscription next week!)
There is a certain peace in having moved to Tennessee during the fall and makes leaving my beloved Indiana less painful.
Don’t forget, you can still enter the Vintage Body Spa giveaway until tomorrow morning!

Photoshop can be so time consuming. I wish I could find something better then Picnik but not as complicated as Photoshop.

Beautiful, Jennifer. What a difference it makes to everything to live in a beautiful place. Now don’t go looking through my archives from a couple weeks ago which have some pictures of Indiana in the fall. Seriously, don’t go.

It makes me hate the flatness of Mobile, though I could get some awesome beach shots if I wanted. Too bad I’m lazy.
Am I the only person who vacillates between longing for the mountains and longing for the ocean?

It’s a good thing yo didn’t crash into the cemetery. The picture is fantastic.
I’ve lived in Indiana in the Fall, it’s very pretty — it’s a nice break from the 6,000,000 shades of green, in the Spring and Summer.

I love your picture. I am so wanting a new camera! I love walking through old cemeteries and reading headstones. Creepy,huh? It’s just fascinating to me. Anywho, I loved your shot and it should be published in a magazine!
As always, I love reading your blog. Take care-MiMi
