Dawn on the PotomacIn March, I love to shoot the monuments in Washington, D.C. The vernal equinox is in March, so the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west. The monuments also happen to be laid out mostly in a line from east to west. Here are two photos, one shortly before sunrise and one at sunrise, featuring the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and Arlington Memorial Bridge. While I was out having fun shooting the sunrise, I noticed lots of robins out looking for worms. They sure look well fed!
Frigid Falls
Happy holidays!
Back to Blackwater FallsIt's autumn and I returned to Blackwater Falls in West Virginia. The fall foliage was lovely and I captured some great scenic shots while I was there. Here are some of my favorites. This one is of Blackwater Falls. Low clouds and light rain brought out some great color in the fall foliage around the falls.
In this one, you can see the low clouds creeping through Blackwater Canyon.
I've taken some photos of the Falls of Elakala before. It's a beautiful, tranquil spot. This time I figured I'd include the bridge over the falls.
I got up early to shoot the sunrise from Pendleton Overlook. My view of the sunrise ended up being obstructed, so I turned away and shot the other direction. In this one you can see the full moon is still out while the clouds start to light up with the first rays of the morning sun. Lindy Point is one of my favorite places in Blackwater Falls State Park. My luck with the clouds seemed to hold. I like this one quite a bit, along with the following photo. After the sun dropped below the horizon, the clouds turned purple. Follow me on Flickr, Instagram, and 500px or contact me here. A Yellow SpiderI recently came across this giant black and yellow garden spider while hiking in Huntley Meadows. It is by far the largest spider I've ever seen outside a zoo—other than perhaps the tarantula that my 4th grade teacher kept in his classroom. I'm not generally a fan of spiders, but I'm fascinated by the bright yellow coloring in this one.
Incidentally, it was a beautiful day at Huntley Meadows.
