Every day I come across photographs that are beautiful, startling, or funny. Sometimes - they are examples of fabulous photography but more often - they are photos of places or things I simply find appealing. And these days the effects are so good I cannot tell if a photo has been altered or enhanced. But if I like it, I like it. I decided to create a place where I could share them with other people. I should go on record saying - I think almost any kitten is a cute kitten, and I'm a sucker for a pretty flower. Oh, my name is BetteJo, I've been called a crazy cat lady, and I bead. Welcome!

Wow! These pictures are incredible - and all these colours!!! Unbelievable that there are such views to be had... Sometimes I'm quite envious for you still have so much natural and unspoiled spaces over there. Here in Germany you can hardly walk a mile without seeing a house or a car.

Where do you find them? They are all incredible...are you digitally enhancing them yourself? I only as because, one thing the images here all have in common is that colour saturation that is just so gorgeous...lovely lovely stuff BetteJo :)

The U.S. is so big - there are still parts that you don't see anything but nature no matter which way you look.

I find them all over Lavender. Wallpaper sites, etc, I have a few places I go to a lot. I don't alter any of them myself, although I am aware many of them must be. Some of them are just too beautiful to be totally real.
