I ran across a few of our old photos of when my hubby and I were dating! These photos are 18 years old this month. We were both a lot thinner then and Doug still had his red hair! LOL!
The pictures were taken in Brown County State Park, Brown County, Indiana. It's just a county away, but there's really no direct route to get there from here. We have to go up I-65 to Columbus, then take SR-46 toward Bloomington, passing through Nashville.
Nashville is the county seat of Brown County and the fall leaves are one of the major draws. It's a quaint little town with lots of artists and crafters selling their wares, antiques, little specialty shops & neat local restaurants. Brown County State Park is just west of Nashville and has lots of lookout areas to view the beautiful fall scenery! We spent our honeymoon here, but that's another story! G-rated, REALLY! :)
This photo isn't as vibrant as I remember the leaves being, as they are almost every year. But with a little bit of manipulation and Kim Klassen's textures, it is. Ana's Earth Wonders Photo Challenge was Autumn, and Kim's Texture Tuesday Challenge was to use at least one of her textures.

I did the same here, adjusted the brightness/contrast and vibrancy.
1st texture - Kim's Yesteryear - Multiply @ 40% opacity
2nd texture - Kim's Pumpkin Grunge @ 50% opacity
If you ever get our way, you really should try visiting Brown County State Park and Nashville. I don't believe you'll regret it!
