It was a gorgeous morning near the base of Mt. Pisgah in Oregon (near where I live), and I just had to photograph it! Something about this image just makes me want to lean my back against one of those trees and take a nice warm afternoon nap!
Anyways, I wanted to share the stock photo with you (free of course). The zip file contains the high-res JPG of the image – 3072 x 2048 pixels.

I have some dynamic text for you to download; with a choice of 5 different camouflage patterns. These can be typed into any words/sentences you need – using any font you want! I made these in Arial Black since most people will have that font by default, but feel free to play with the fonts/sizing/offsets to get the just-right look you need.
