Kentucky Picture of the Day: Beautiful Scene at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park

by Leave a Comment

Tree at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park
Most people, with their photography, have a certain “look” or “feel” – a favorite technique, if you will – and I’m no exception. Because of my love for animals, trees and landscapes, most of my pics are of these subjects.

And food… let’s not forget food.

I’ve noticed something that’s pretty stereotypical of my tree shots. Apparently I’m all about the “undershot.” When I look through my pics for Kentucky Pics of the Day, for Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram, I see a lot of photographs taken from the vantage point of the one here.

What can I say? I am obsessed with trees and the sight of one reaching into the sky as though it’s touching the Heavens gets me every time. The other night, my husband and I were watching one of our favorite shows on the History Channel and they focused a shot up a tree as it reached toward the clouds – I thought about telling my hubby, “There’s another me out there…” but I didn’t want to alarm him after he’d had a long day at work and all.

I think the tree above is a perfect reminder of the fact that beauty is all around us – every day of the year. It doesn’t have to be a 85 degree day in June for Kentucky to show off. Our beautiful state struts her stuff year round.

Again, all you have to do is look.

Picture of the Day: Panther Creek Park in Owensboro

Autumn Trees

 

A friend of my husband’s recently visited us here in Owensboro, Kentucky for a few days. Like me, one of this friend’s hobbies is photography. Truth be told, he actually makes money with his photography, which I suppose makes him  a legitimate “photographer,” while I’m just sitting here like, “Oh, Look! I got a shot of a goose in flight!”

I’m just so professional like that.

Michael wanted to take his friend to Panther Creek Park (a real treat for photographers, professional or otherwise) but they ran out of time.  It’s an absolute shame because, like a lot of places in Kentucky, Panther Creek Park  and cameras were made for one another.

Click the thumbnails below for larger pictures of Panther Creek Park.

I just added a new photo gallery to the Owensboro album, dedicated to this very special place.  See Panther Creek Park Pictures for more great pictures.  And, yes… I caught a goose in  flight. Yay, me!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and, in the case of Kentucky, I’d say that’s 100 percent true.  We could use up all the words in the English language (and even borrow some from other languages), but we could never truly describe how beautiful or special our beloved state is.

You’ll have to just see for yourself in our growing collection of pictures of Kentucky! Also, be sure to check out our Pictures of the Day.
