Thanks everyone so much for the wonderful comments, they really do mean a great deal to me. I love shooting this park because the Spring water often gives off wonderful mist all throughout the year and there is always the chance for a magical moment where the light looks amazing. Yep Joannie, I'm a MO boy. I live outside a small town in the Ozark foothills. It really makes for a great central location for getting to what I think are some of the most beautiful areas in the state. Have a wonderful Tue and happy shooting everyone. :) Tommy #8858047

I think if there was a spot like this in my location, with all that beautiful light and mist, I'd be camping out there just waiting for these types of moments!! The heck with home and hearth! :) :) Your use of light here is just phenomenal, Tommy, combined with the beautiful colors and your detail - makes for one absolutely stunning photo. Well done and bravo! #8858440

Thanks so much Val, Jo ann and Randy. I really appreciate the kind comments. I do spend quit a bit of time doing just that Val. My absolute favorite time here surprisingly is Winter, when the crowds are gone. In Winter trout fishing here becomes catch and release only, so usually only a few die hards show up a day, and they make wonderful models even if they don't know their on the clock. The park also gets about 30 or so eagle visitors in Winter , so many times they outnumber the few people in the park which works for me. Have a great weekend you three and sorry for being tardy on my resonse, I'm hoping to get a feild here at home prepped and ready for a prarie rehab co-op project with the state. I'd really like to get some seed spread in the fall so I won't have quit so long to for the native forbs and grasses to take hold. I've heard something about good things coming to those who wait, but I think that's propaganda. LOL. Happy shooting you three and thanks again. :) Tommy #8863948
