Old Pictures Rock!

I was going back over pictures I have shot over the last few years. It never ceases to amaze me how much my perception of an image can dramatically change over the course of a few years. Today I am going back into the Trailpixie archives to drag out two images from last summer.

The first image is taken along the C&O Canal, about a mile southeast of Great Falls. The day was hazy and humid. I recall feeling disappointed about my pictures from the day. I came home and didn't even look at them for a week or two. When I did, I found this panoramic of a little island with a cedar tree on it. I thought it was okay. Now I look at it and think it is a wonderful little vignette from nature. What do you think?

This second picture was taken on an outing to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We had planned to go kayaking at Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge, but there were a bunch of storms kicking around. So, we just knocked around Chestertown, Rock Hall and the refuge for most of the day. We had a really good time, but again, the weather wasn't cooperating for picture makin'. I did manage to snap a few panoramics of wildflowers. At the time, I was totally obsessed with catching the dozens of butterflies that were in the image, but those little buggers just wouldn't sit still. So, when I came home, I wasnt't too enthusiastic about the images I shot. A year later, I think I was being a bit self-indulgent and crabby. This image is pretty nice. I hope you like it.
