let it snow

While New York and New England got dumped on by up to several feet of snow, so far we've only had a few dustings.  But those dustings made for a magical wintry walk through Rock Creek Park a few weeks ago.  I hope we get more...

a warm winter stroll

Last weekend a very pleasant walk through middle patuxent environmental area in clarksburg, md - howard county.  The sun was out, the jacket came off.   A nice chance to catch my breath. 

 

welcome 2013

A winter's stroll at sky meadows last month.

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.  

sunflowers and prayer flags

 Wandering through a field of sunflowers in mckee beshers wildlife management area in western montgomery county.  I was shooting the sunflowers; the 20+ hunters hidden in camouflage were waiting to shoot the doves (!)

Onto more pacifist endeavors at the nearby Peace Park, adjacent to a buddhist temple.
