Spring in Elliot Lake

Here's a before and after pic. William took the original from the local fire lookout. There is a nice little cupola mounted on the side of the hill. William took a really nice pic, but I couldn't leave well enough alone. I used Gertrudis Pro and then warmified a bit with Picasa. Ain't software wonderful?
We keep taking the camera to the dump, but we haven't seen any bears there for 6 or 7 weeks. We saw a mother and her two cubs heading to McDonald's the other day, but the camera was nicely packed away at home. We'll bring the camera with us more often. (Pictures taken by yourself are always better than stock pictures!)
