there to be taken…

This photo is especially for the ones who gave me flack for shooting a landscape image from my B&B balcony.  Seriously, when the world offers you this, without pain, who would refuse?  😉  The BTS photo is here if you want a chuckle:  http://goo.gl/18g2bY I left the blue cast from the filters in because somehow […]
