Coran Ferry

Sherry Felix13 Comments

The Coran Ferry goes across Loch Linnhe, Scotland. It is not far from Fort William. We went there early in the morning to photograph the lighthouse. We were lucky with the light.

I love driving slowly through this lovely cemetery and stopping frequently for photography.

At the end of March we drove to NJ Botanical Gardens – Skylands. Not much in bloom yet but it was a lovely day.

I added cobblestones using AI in the first one.

I was intrigued by how the oak leaves managed to embed themselves in the decorative cabbage.

Two Tree Parts in Greenbrook

To bring out the seed pods I darkened the background. I used the same process on the tree root with some color enhancements.
