Really beautiful, Laura -- it's very interesting to see the comparison. I love them both -- very inviting scene -- but the filter one of course has a bit more pizzazz! Neat! #8413446

In the BG there you might be able to see the huge Rocky Mtn! :)
This path opens to a clearing at the base of it and a river runs past the path. The air is so fresh and clean in this area. A really amazing place to enjoy.

Oh, yes...I'll walk with you down this path! This is so serene & lovely, Lala! The frac filter looks great here! #8413689frank w. degenhardt February 24, 2010
Laura- We all need a place like this to get away, be at peace with nature and God. That one place that lets us refresh the soul. Love the beautiful colors, the way you lead us down the path, the fract filter was used to perfect perfection. Gorgeous work my friend.

We sure do Frank. True peace also comes when can walk honestly with our God and ourselves and our families and friends. Then no matter where we walk, we are free.

So nice to have you walking the path with me today! :) Doesn't the pine smell nice here? Mmmmm!
The Frac filter is a tough filter to work with but rewarding when you try it and it works!!! Thanks for the FAV, Ellen!
Thank you Michelle for the kind words. You are an overcomer!:D
Steve, you would love this path in real life. It not only leads you in but it delivers you through a lot of beauty.
You guys, these woods are so interesting. Moss carpets the forest floor, off path, old logs had mushrooms growing on them, neat little blue dragon flies that CANNOT BE CAPTURED and photographed, whiz by! MAN are they fast! Wild flowers in abundance in the spring...Pinks, Purples, yellows and reds! Sun rays shooting down through the trees...WOW!
Anyway, thank you all. I enjoyed sharing this with you!
