Springbrook Pond Landscape

Springbrook Pond

Last weekend, I asked my husband to drive me out to Springbrook, which is a community outside of Jackson, Tennessee, with a variety of interesting homes, rolling hills, lakes, trees, and trails.  I was able to capture some lovely photos of the area, despite the fact this was one of the hardest hit areas by flooding a couple of years ago.  I was quite surprised to see the main lake was no longer a full lake, as it used to be.  During the flood, the levy broke.  We drove by a house we looked at moving into many years ago.  The house had been "on the lake" at that time, and it was really enlightening to see there is no longer a lake behind the house - instead, it looks like a swampland, with trees growing out of the area where the lake used to be.

Despite the fact the beautiful lake was basically destroyed, it's still a lovely community, and I hope to share some of it's renewed beauty through my photographs of the area.

Before we even entered Springbrook, I shot this photo of one of my favorite homes out there.  It belongs to friends from a long time ago, and it looks just as gorgeous now as it always has, even more so with the passing of many seasons since I'd seen it last.  I especially like it now that I've given it a golden glow.

Springbrook Lake

This is not the original Springbrook lake, but it appears to be a new lake area.  The sun on the sparkling water was gorgeous.  I decided to give this photo more purple and blue tones, in order to focus on the beauty of the water and the stunning colors in the sky.

I'll be adding more photos from Springbrook as I finish them - keep an eye on my landscape section for new work featuring this community.
