Ohio Winter Adventure

Here are some shots from an extended 

weekend in Ohio this past Winter. 

A decent sized waterfall.

Moss

A beautiful view. 

This isn't the clearest picture, but the spider is neat!

I spy an owl.

Single snowflake

This bridge was clear when we walked over it the first time.

Waterfall through the side of the bridge.

Sun reflection on ice.

I am pretty sure snowflakes will always fascinate me.
It's amazing that each one is different. 

A twig growing frost.

More snowflakes

Snow capped cattails.

Huge cluster of icicles.

Summer Exploring

It's been way too long since I last posted. 

I have no legitimate excuse.

Here are some neat pics from a weekend trip to a few National Parks.

Appalachian Trail in Harpers Ferry, WV

Dragon fly along the Shenandoah River in Harpers Ferry, WV

Thistle

More thistle

 Train tracks are always fun to photograph.

Church through the underside of the railroad bridge.

Underneath the railroad tracks.

Box turtle

Harpers Ferry from Maryland Heights.

Gathland State Park

Cunningham Falls State Park

The trails through Cunningham Falls provided 

a great opportunity to see some fascinating insects.

Millipede. Gross and cool at the same time!

A beetle of some sort that caught my eye.

Another millipede

Monocacy National Battlefield

Beautiful day, great scenery.

You can't go to a battlefield and not take a picture of a cannon.

Great advice for the angle of this shot!

Relaxing front porch view.

Bumble bee on thistle

Another dragonfly 

This is the end of this posting, and I have plenty of 

material from other excursions to do another post. 

Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
