Sweet Southern Comfort

We are back from the south. This photo was snapped just outside of St. Augustine . To say it was hot down there would be an understatement. If you look closely you can see the clouds melting into the horizon. I took this with my canon rebel and did just minor adjustments to contrast and saturation. I warmed it ever so slightly to really set off the colors. I love how it turned out. I wish I painted this picture! It is such a "southern" depiction. Where is the boy on a raft with cut offs and straw hat? It is so nice to find this kind of scenery only yards off of A-1-A with all it's commercialism( tacky surf shops, snack shacks and strip malls) that is so much a part of the American south also. It only makes you appreciate pictures like this all the more.
