Photography Now & Then #99
Spring seems to be developing slowly this year, but it is surely arriving. It would be nice if the cooler than normal trend persisted into the summer down here in Arkansas. Of course, cooler than normal might not be so welcome when we’re in Wisconsin or out west in the mountains.

In 2007, we delayed departing for our first post-retirement trip to the western mountains because of high temperatures and wild fires. We didn’t really run into any problems other than few days with some smoke, some of which made scenic photography rather difficult and others, like this one, where the smoke added a different character to the image.
