We had stayed in a motel that was right on the water. When we got up in the morning, it was still foggy. We went walking and found this scene. It was too good to pass by. I had it enlarged and framed and it hangs on the wall in our den. I scanned it for the contest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-32756927199292676222010-05-22T15:20:26.429-04:002010-05-22T15:20:26.429-04:00hey thr, nice blog and nice fotos .. my 'to be...hey thr, nice blog and nice fotos .. my 'to be' hubby is also pretty interested in photography, I have told him quite some times to have an exhibition of them but he doesnt get enough time for that.
