Old Mill

The beautiful mill at Babcock State Park, just over the West Virginia line from Covington.

Old Mill Sepia

We took "Old Mill" and created a stunning old-fashioned look, using a sepia tint.

Orange Tree with Dogwood

Autumn produces some stunning combinations, such as this shot of an orange tree and a white one. (It's probably not dogwood, but don't tell anyone else!)

Pastel Pines

No, we didn't play with this photograph in Photoshop! An incorrect camera setting could have been disastrous in other circumstances, but in this case, it produced a beautiful shot of evergreen trees near twilight.

Patch of Brilliance in the Forest

Red leaves are prominent in this shot of fall coloration.

Peaceful Inlet

Dawn is a tranquil time, especially at Virginia's state arboretum in Berryville.

Pre-Dawn Pines & Water

For some shots, you have to get up pretty early in the morning ... and that's exactly what our photographer did!
