Well, that was sure fast!  Last I remember I was posting the March wallpaper.

For this month’s calendar I’ve gone way back into the archives.  This photograph was taken in May, 2005 at Waterrock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Waynesville, NC.  This is one of the first photos I made with my then-new Canon 20D.  In fact, this was frame number 194 on that camera.  Considering that I turned that camera over at least twice, shooting well over 20,000 files, this was truly in the very early stages of my digital era.  The file was in pretty good shape, but had not been updated to the latest process version in Lightroom.  I made the conversion, which improved noise reduction and sharpening primarily, tweaked the contrast and color just a bit, and here it is.

Things are cranking here at the House of Dills.  We’ve got some interesting projects going on, some of them photographic, some not.  But April promised to be exciting, so stay tuned as things develop!
