From the VF archives: in full sepia glory, a pathway leading up to the top of Brasstown Bald, in the North Georgia mountains.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.
Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and 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 daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

Nice shot. Great composition . . . I like the leafs behind the road. I like to know their colors :)

@Saeed: Thanks. At this time the autumn leaves were not yet fully into their color change, so... sigh, most of the leaves here were green.
A fabulous composition and I love that old fence.

Lovely sepia shot!

That is one beautiful and serene image.

what a wonderful compo, I want to be there to whisper... ps How do you make time to visit everyone when there is so many beautiful blogs to visit? how do you choose? I'm asking everyone today lol

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. I choose by setting priorities. I usually try to first visit those who visit me; and then there is my "blogwatch" list; and then if there is time, I look at the community thumbnails. But make time? No, it's more like "steal" time as time allows. Sometimes I don't get around at all. That is my compromise. I almost dropped out in December completely, due to lack of time. You are right, they are all beautiful and I wish I had unlimited time -- but I also have a family, friends, and a life.
Beautiful. Nice composition!

Very nicely done in sepia - the picture really draws me in - I want to see what is at the end of the trail!!

Nice perspective on this path uncle view and it looks great in sepia

I like the rustic fence as it guides you safely along the path, the sepia adds a wonderful feel of peace and nostalgia to this image. Beautiful VF.

Wonderful processing. Like it.

Very nice path! Is that Rhododendron at the right?
18 Mar 2008 2:31pm
@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Yes, rhododendron it is.
Beautiful scenery...

An interesting capture that with the POV shown seems more like a "down"hill climb. I love how the path seems to lead me through the photo.
18 Mar 2008 4:33pm
love the colour and angle.
18 Mar 2008 5:07pm
Very vivid capture, even in these tones. Beautifully lighted.
18 Mar 2008 7:09pm
The processing adds focus to the path. Nice shot.
18 Mar 2008 7:28pm
Love the mystery of what may be around the bend. Wonderful, VF!

beautiful. great tones and composition!

i love this!Sepia really gives it a very vintage and glorious look...Very very lovely.I was thinking perhaps coloured would have just made it look ordinary,but sepia worked great here:) thanks for commenting at my blog,we would love to chat with you over a hot cuppa if we have the chance too:)(over honey glazed chicken wings and lemon butter broccoli with prawns and scallop!lol)
18 Mar 2008 8:51pm
@tyan: Yes, we must have good conversation -- and your luscious chicken wings, prawns and scallop!
Great image! My feet are drawn to the path :) One wierd thing - it almost looks like it heading down hill.
18 Mar 2008 10:10pm
@Ken McCoy: Well it was taken from a higher point, looking down on the trail that is leading upward (as you head off in the distance). Mountain trails can be like that sometimes.
Wonderfully composed shot and great treatment!

We'd love to explore those north GA mountains - need to find a place to stay up there. This is an interesting climb, VF ... what's just around the bend, out of sight?
19 Mar 2008 3:12am
Fabulous shot! Love your tones on this one!!
