Hi Karen, yes I did take this shot of a middle 1800's antebellum home located in north Georgia. It was a magical time in the evening. Glad I could start your day on great note!

Hi Frank, It seems you know how enjoy the view, such a simple pleasure. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey there JL, You and Jamie wold love this place! The home was actually quite modern for it's time, it had a convect type oven and indoor plumbing at one time. I've got a blog started about this place but it's taking me some time time to finish it. I hope to have it ready soon and this was just a tease.

Hi Liz, I thought this place was fabulous in the daylight then when I went back at dusk and it was spectacular! How fortunate you've been to Spain, have you posted any photos? I'd love to take a peek.

Hi Robert, It is my screen saver for now and reminds of the magical time I spent there, thanks for the visit!

It was Maureen, it was indeed!

Ana, you would have loved snapping away, so many opportunities for great shots.

Sharon, this home was way before it's time and yes I'll be sharing the history and more shots to come!

JL, I know you will enjoy the unusual history this place has to offer, not to mention the incredible grounds.

Ann, I was so lucky when I shot this, because I have no idea what I'm doing behind the camera, I was surprised at the outcome when I saw it myself :) The colors were even more vivid in person!

Chris, It was an awesome place to visit, I was super lucky this came out at all

Charles, No color adjustments were made, it really was this blue!

Sharon, Glad I was able to end your day on good note!

Carole, It does had an interesting history, first such joy then it quickly turned to sadness. People have reported ghost like figures there so that's one of the reasons I went back in the evening. I saw no apparitions but did I feel a sense of overwhelming calm, peace and love.

Richard, the vegetation growing up and around this home was the icing on the cake for me.

Well that's means something to me coming from a great photographer like you Mike. So I'm assuming it's special paper I load into the printer?

I took a smidge over 100 photos that day and was happy this turned out this well. I'm spying that real camera at Costco you spoke of earlier ;)

Thanks for coming back to explain it to me Mike, I pictured just what it would look like by your description and I agree it would look stunning!

I don't think I can wait for Santa to bring me that camera cause I was chasing around a lizard yesterday with my camera and was extremely disappointed the results. I was so close he could have bit my nose, guess I was too close!

Hi John, This was taken in the northern part of Georgia, it was a truly spectacular antebellum home and I'm working on a blog that will have more pictures soon. Stay tuned:)

Hi Team Honeycutt, from what I could tell from old photos and what I've read, it was more along the lines of an Italian Villa, very out of ordinary from the south. It was certainly grand!

Hi Debi, I can only imagine what my photos would have looked like if I had a half decent camera. The sky was really that color, I just tried to sharpen it up a bit. I'm a slow blogger but I'm a workin' on it!

Yep Tammy and located right here in good ol' beautiful Georgia, I love it here!

Morning Vegas Bob, wow thanks for the feature! Your group Express with Photographs is one of my favorites too.

Morning John, I like the cliche, in fact I think it's pretty witty!

Yes it is Barbara, I've got an upcoming blog about my recent trip. No suggestions from me, I'm still researching. This was shot w/ my husbands old work camera. I just got lucky that evening.

Thanks Georgina! It was great setting.

Hi there Tammy, yesterday we drove up to Big Canoe, just lovely and I love Georgia! My family tree revels I had relatives in Coweta County in the early 1800's. So it's like I've come home :)

Thanks so much Mary, hope the travels went well and you had a blast! This was a very fascinating place more photos to come!

Morning Cheryl, Yes you can rent out the ruins and have a reception there, the wedding is held off to the side of the gorgeous incredible gardens. They have small concerts there also. If I can get my thoughts to gel in the ol' grey matter my blog with more photos should be coming soon.

Morning Mike, thanks a bunch for your kind words! I very happy the way this turned out. I'd like to go back with better camera one day.

Morning VB, I love the photo you have depicting the group, it's pretty sweet!

Morning Tony & Darcy, It was a beautiful place in the morning or at dusk!

Morning Karen, This was a magical place in the evening. For weddings and other functions they have electricity hooked up and there were candles every where. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be at that time!

Morning Russel, I love them too and this place has a history of a ghost too. Never saw it, that's why I went back at dusk! I've been so busy I really need to finish the follow up blog to this and pronto. Thanks for the visit :)

Thanks for the compliment Gerry, that means a lot coming from you. I have kept myself so busy with other projects I haven't made the time time finish the blog that goes with this photo. I hope to soon and it will have more photos of ruins & heirloom gardens!

It was a very peaceful and romantic trip!

Hi Monique, that is definitely on my list of things to do! Thank you for  stopping by and leaving your nice compliment!

Morning Ginger, Thanks so much for your lovely compliment! I just bought a new Lumix and I'm not sure I bought the right one, I'll have to ask him again what model it was. I feel as though I'm over my head with the new camera. I haven't posted any new photos I've taken with it...yet!

Hi there Rita, Well thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! I was really a beautiful night sky.
