Lake of the Ozarks State Park in Missouri . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Photo by Robert Culbertson (my Dad) . . . . enhancement by Chris Duffy
Now this is a vacation picture from many many years ago. When we were kids our parents always made sure we had a good vacation each year. We may not have had much money, but they made sure we got to go places and see different parts of the US. Several years we went to Lake of the Ozarks State Park and camped. We’d pitch our tent and it would stay in that spot for three weeks and each day we’d head out in a different direction to see the sights. Then we’d come back early afternoon and we kids would hit the beach. Gosh, this picture brings back so many memories. I nearly drowned once under that floating dock out there. We were all trying to swim to the other side of the dock by swimming UNDER it and I ran out of air before reaching the other side. I found myself sucking seaweed off the bottom of the barrels that held the dock afloat. Never tried THAT again.

That’d freak me out too… My sis and her family go to the Lake of the Ozarks on vacation fairly frequently.

Now it’s plain to see where you and Alice get your love of travel and photography! It’s in your blood and your childhood. I can relate to that. Love the memories you invoke. Thanks for sharing the picture.

WOW Folks! That comment above from LolaMC . . . that’s my MOM. We were hoping she’d finally get around to reading our blogs, and eventually we think she’d love blogging herself. But we’re taking it slow.
Love the picture… love the memories :love:
How do you do the enhancements on your photography? My step mom gave my brother, sister and I each a photo of our dad shortly after he died that had been enhanced and it’s neat, I’d love to learn how to do it! My parents took us on neat vacations too, never with much money…but we sure had fun.
The picture is rather an evocation of great time in holidays than a simple photo . You make us dream with touches of color .
In friendship
