Description
This is a photo of my two young sons fishing at Sims Valley Lake in Missouri as the sun sets. One of my favorite things about having a camera is being able to take pictures of those special moments of childhood. Sims Valley Lake is a nice recreational park located not very far from our home. It was such a beautiful day we decided to take the boys out to go fishing. They didn't catch anything that day, but they had a lot of fun playing up and down the banks of the lake. My youngest child dragged his pole in the water most of the time. He didn't care though; he was having fun!
I am lucky to live in the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri. Sims Valley Lake is just one of many picturesque places to visit and enjoy. Many people enjoy getting out and enjoying the natural surroundings of the area.

Thank you Madalena for featuring this photo in Female Artists! I learned a new trick in gradients on photoshop while editing this piece that allowed me to really bring out the color of the sky and clouds.
