This weekend was spent at the beautiful Howard County Conservancy at the historic Mount Pleasant Farm in Howard County, Maryland.
Filled with meadows, and woodlands the conservancy provides 232 acres with a wide variety of habitats for nature and wildlife. With an emphasis of native grass and wildflower plantings, the meadows provide a beautiful variety of subtle colors that blend in.
With the warm days and cool nights of the late summer, the meadows are covered in mist in the early morning. Providing ample opportunity for the landscape and nature photographer to create.
The above capture was created by first capturing a full frame of the native grasses in the meadow and minor exposure edits in Lightroom 5.6. Then exporting into Topaz Impressions for a creative filter – Turner – this beautiful artistic rendition was created.
Here is the original image for view.

Beautiful, so dreamy… Thanks to you, I am there now, in my mind… ❤
You would love this place, it’s so serene. Wish you were here. 🙂
Gorgeous, both images!
This look reminds me of your work and the beautiful paintings that you create Mary. Thank you so much for your kind compliment.
Thank you so much Emily for your generous comment. It looks like you’ve had an awesome Summer – here is to a little cooling off, as Fall comes rushing in!
Indeed yes to the cooling off. Just went to my veggie garden to harvest and came back drenched. Still hot in Maryland. 🙂
Lovely and now I really want to visit Maryland. I really need to get out in my own ‘backyard’ and take more photos, you have inspired me. 🙂
You live in a pretty sweet spot also. Beautiful, but different from maryland. If you ever get here, drop me a line.:-)
It’s beautiful.
These meadows are truly inspiring. The more one looks, the more one sees.
Love the “Monet”! 🙂
🙂 if only it would bring me some ‘money.’ One day perhaps…Thank you Joanne.
