I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    Thanks for looking in.

    The scene does have a kind of mysterious overtone to it, doesn't it? I think the white trees and heavy moss presence cause that.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    I hope you got your share of Bass from these waters. :D Local fishermen find them along here in abundance.

    Nice one, Tom--you definitely caught the creepy mood, just like in the movies. :D

    I like the starkness of the white with the lush green behind the trees.

    Howdy Tom,

    Neat looking scene, were you on the River???

    I'll bet that would be a really spooking place to be with Fog on a Moonlit night!!!
    Take care,

    Hi Craig,

    Yes, I was out on the river. I agree, this same scene on a moonlight night with river fog would indeed be spooky. It was spooky enough as it was.:D

    Take care, say hi to KK,
