Brushy Creek Revisited
Uploaded: November 10, 2009
I can't believe I've lived in this area of TX for well over 10 years and missed this little gem of a county park tucked away in a far corner of my bustling city. It's not on the same grand scale as Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, OH (the best and most beautiful city park ever!) but it does have it's share of pretty little spots. This is one of them - taken just as the sun was coming up and the mist from the creek was burning off...

Super pretty capture, Valarie! I've been in NC just over three years, and haven't done nearly enough exploring (mostly because I'm too busy buying and tossing walnuts!). #1203206Candice C. Calhoun November 10, 2009

It appears that a talented photographer with an eye for the best light and a balanced sense of compostion could turn any corner into a better photo. This is a very beautiful exposure, Valarie.
