This is the largest section of my photo gallery, because scenics have always been a "weakness" of mine. The shots on this page are representative of those I have taken over the years. There are many, many more. I Hope you will enjoy the ones I am sharing with you. Some may find it a little difficult to differentiate between "rural" and "scenic." In many ways, they are synonymous as far as my photographic interests are concerned; that's why I have combined them under the SCENIC umbrella. I also have not differentiated between landscapes and seascapes. As far as I'm concerned, they are equally appealing.
