While scampering around (hmm, do I really scamper…) before the holidays, I always seem to make it up to the PGA Spa to grab a couple of gift certificates for loved ones.
As I was leaving the Spa, I glanced out of the corner of my eye, turned my head as I kept driving, and almost hit a palm tree trying to soak in the beautiful light raking across the front lawn.
Well, I thought about it, slammed on the brakes , and made a U turn so I could capture a little bit of it. As I look at this now, especially after last week and the next couple of weeks to come, I cant help but wish I picked up a couple for myself!!!

wow that’s a gorgeous photo. Love soft tones and shadows.
Very nice

great light as you said
Very nice from every aspect. The shadows, the softness of the trees, the summetry. Beautifull photo Mike.
I love the shot, but love the story even more. I can’t count how many times I’ve wanted to stop and take a shot but couldn’t. Glad you went back.
Beautiful. How many shots? What additional work over photomatix?
Cool! I love that grass in the morning!
Wonderful capture, so vivid colours!
Fantastic and almost dreamlike 🙂 I love the processing used here.
