~Maine Birch~


	~Maine Birch~ These were taken in Maine at the Lamoine State Park, where I grew up. The image was taken at 1/125, F6, and ISO200. I added alittle buzz and boosted the colors. Have a wonderful day! Going to a Halloween Party....If my makeup turns out ok, maybe I will post a picture. :) Shelly A. Van Camp
