Graveyard, Guerilla Hollow!

Here's are a few images from the graveyard at Bernheim that I photographed last weekend. Here I am entering the graveyard. Are you amazed at the things I find at Bernheim. I am.



This graveyard dates back to the Revolutionary War. Most of the graves markings are gone and only stones are left behind. So sad.



Not particularly crazy about these large gravestones that are flat on the ground.



Hope your week is going well. We're over the hump. Oh, and by the by, 7 (seven) tornadoes in Louisville yesterday. Not a good day at all. Scary, scary, scary. ENJOY!

Finding Balance Along the Millenium Trail!

One of my goals this year is to see if I can actually get a website created that includes my blog. In the meantime, I keep playing with my header in an effort to find some balance. Yet, I still come back to simplicity in the look of it. I'm sorry, I tell myself, as I know simple beats out artsy most anytime when it comes to my personal comfort zone. I'll land somewhere. I hope in the meantime I don't drive any of you wonderful folks to jump ship. It's not easy being a photographer who's found a creative side she didn't know existed until now. I'm actually thinking it might be a bad thing, but no no no, that would be negative. And I never like to be called negative. If that's not enough, I started out as A Photographic Journal, but that tag didn't stick. So I've landed at "a photographers palette" because seriously it feels like I'm painting most of the time when I'm capturing that image. By the way, do you have any major goals for the new year. They don't even have to be major or for the new year. Goals are good. Come on, tell. Let's take a walk down this beautiful snow laden trail while you tell me all about it. ENJOY!

Into the Woods, Guerilla Hollow!

There are many trails within Bernheim that I have not hiked. I took a walk along the the Millenium Trail that briefly traverses Guerilla Hollow yesterday afternoon to check out the cemetery that is situated close by. Yes, I did take photos of the cemetery which I'll post soon. A dusting of snow covered the ground. As is typical of Bernheim, the forest has many oak trees that hold their leaves until Spring before depositing them on the ground. It adds a bit of mystery to an otherwise dull landscape.

I had hoped to visit Mustatatuck yesterday, but a quick check of the rader told me not to, as snow was making its way into the region. If you want to visit a park but hoards of people keep you away, go when the weather isn't perfect. It affords a more personal experience. Guerilla Hollow is one area where normally hoards of picnickers are wandering about. Not so yesterday. I encountered only one couple who had just finished a walk. Love it. A chance to check out Guerilla Hollow just a little bit closer. And as you can see, there is beauty here. ENJOY!

A QUICK NOTE . . .
There's a new feature in my sidebar. Now you can search my blog by entering keywords and it searches all of my followers blogs as well. After using this feature on other blogs, I discovered it actually aided me in finding images and information about places I was planning to visit. How cool is that!

Also you'll notice a new header today. I spent some time dropping the background out from behind my image of the trees with the green moss on them and decided to incorporate it into the new header. Whew! A lot of work, not quite done with, but decided to put the header up for now and maybe work on it some more in a few days. Now I know why retouching is so expensive!
