The river runs through stands of oak, maple, sweet gums, cypress, and pine. This surface shot of a Tickfaw River dockside shows a few of the ever-present pine needles, fallen on the weathered wood. And there's this one black crack between the old boards, leading to...? The river rolls on.
Yes, it's photoshopped a tiny bit for brightness and contrast.
#2 of Tickfaw River Days.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.
Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.
What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.

@Nobody: There, there Rob, don't take it so hard. But what about me? Imagine how I must feel when I have this great new D80 and haven't had time to do much travelling to use it anywhere cool like this (or better) -- I mean, if this can be done with a middle-range digital like my (beloved) Konica-Minolta, what could this new super-duper camera I now have do? Don't you feel sorry for me? (joking y'all...)
Awesome VF!! Makes you wonder at the history of the deck ...alll the years of memories it holds! A very cool subject indeed...... There is so much happening here! :)

@Mandy: A very sweet affirmation, Mandy. Thank you. And, yes what is the history of this spot along the river? What's really cool is that shots like this were just beyond the back porch of many of the houses along that little river cove we stayed in. It's probably like that for most of us, wherever we are. Our job as photographers is to discover them... Blessings, my friend.
I love minimalist shots like this one!
