   The Barn Road: In case you were wondering, yes that is a
                                                                            dog walking away from you.  His name is Beau and he has the
                                                                            most beautiful blue eyes!
 

   Three Rocks: Found these and thought "Wow that'd make a
                                                                            good picture. Seems that happens to me rather often!
 

    The White Stone: I didn't realize how nice the reflections
                                                                             on the water looked until I printed this one. I just liked how the
                                                                             white stone stood out on the bank.

    Deadfall: I like how the posted signs on the trees really
                                                                               stand out as well as the single leaf in the middle of the pond.
 

    Cattails:  I almost fell in taking this one. I was leaning over
                                                                              the edge of the pond to take it as Cody, my horse, gave me a
                                                                              nudge. I didnt quite fall in but one foot got pretty wet.
 

    Reflections:  Yeah, I know, I couldnt come up with a less
                                                                              unoriginal name if I had tried. That little white smear is from
                                                                              when I was winding the film to develop it and I accidentally
                                                                              folded the film a bit.

   Black Branches:  I love the way the branches hang down
                                                                             in this one. And how the ones on the bottom stick up. They
                                                                             seem to frame in the pond reflections more. Though the
                                                                             branches really are a little too dark. I should have dogdged
                                                                             them more.

    Tangles: This is my second favorite picture.  I know it looks
                                                                                bad here, but my scanner sucks. The original is really rather
                                                                                nice. This one was my teacher's favorite too. The branches
                                                                                came out so much nicer than on the one above.

  Land Bridge: Man my scanner is bad. The trees on the right
                                                                     came out way too dark. But they arent that way in the original. The
                                                                     pond in the background is the one I almost got Cody to swim in. :)

  Mirror:  Well? That's what it looks like. A mirror image. I like
                                                                             all the light colored leaves in the foreground. That makes every-
                                                                             thing else stand out.

Well that's it for my portofolio. Got some comm ents you'd like to make? My email is [email protected] , ICQ# 13092802, and IMer screen name Waylandre. I'll be adding in another page of pictures I took for other assignments in my class. If you are interested (though I dont honestly know why you'd be) check back in the next few days.
