Capturing the year one day at a time.
It was one of those mornings, warmed by the early sun and the waning of the autumn leaves. When flocks of thousands of geese moved throughout the sky in search of warmer climes. The large National Wildlife Refuge provides a safe haven for a wide variety of birds. […]
A quick post tonight because, frankly, I am completely bleary eyed. A wake up call at 4:00 am and a two-hour drive to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in 30 degree temperatures led to this glorious pre-dawn fire-red sky. It was well worth getting up so early as this […]

The Potomac River gorge dates about 600 million years old. In more the more recent 5 million years, water has traveled through cracks in the rock in a Mather Gorge formation, creating a small canyon with the Potomac river. Beautiful rocks, filled with quartz and mica encompass the […]
On a beautiful Indian Summer day in autumn, a drive up to the Susquehanna State Park took me through scenic country scenes. This beautiful park lined along the Susquehanna River on the Maryland side, holds many past stories. The Rock Run area holds personal significance for me as […]
Today was a perfect Indian Summer day, with the autumn leaves still coloring the landscape. With a warmer day, a trip up to Conowingo Dam was due with a friend. It is her birthday week and part of the outing was to begin with the Bald Eagles that […]
