Sunset

The other night was mesmerized by an amazing sunset.  By the red sky at night.

I'm so drawn to abstract art and have been playing around with abstract photos so dropped one of those in here too.

St. Pete escape

Last month, an escape from the cold and from everything to St. Petersburg, Florida.  I visited with my cousin and her son, walked and photographed the beach for sunrise and for sunset, and enjoyed the Dali museum and its Frida Kahlo exhibit.  The escape was much needed, much appreciated, and I already need another one!

Fall at Huntley Meadows

A few weeks ago, watched the sun go down at Huntley Meadows in Alexandria, VA.

And back to Huntley Meadows this past weekend where I enjoyed fall's reflections in its wetlands.

sunset adventure hike

Last weekend I joined two hiking friends to scout out a possible sunset hike at Buzzard Rock in George Washington National Forest in Virginia. 

The four-mile round trip trek was a success, with views of the sun setting over the valley below.  

Heading back down from the ridge through the woods in the dark was a fun adventure.

And the evening ended with the not-yet-full moon, serene as it was rising in the sky. 

End-of-summer sunset

Out last night with camera in hand, in hopes of catching the ever-elusive super moon, I was treated instead to a magical sunset, which I happened to catch on the Georgetown University campus.

sunrise, sunset

Two visits down to the mall this year to check out the late blooming cherry blossoms, one for sunrise, one for sunset.  The Jefferson memorial was, as always, photogenic, right at sunrise and after the sun went down a few days later. 

Small camera, big mountain

my little camera, my trusty point and shoot, broke after 5 1/2 years of hard wear and tear.  In tribute to it, a few shots from washington area's favorite rock scrambling mountain, old rag, taken from my little canon powershot four years ago.

A healing journey

A healing journey two years ago through the woods, mountains and shore of virginia.
