When you're a kid, you lay in the grass and watch the clouds going over, and you literally don't have a thought in your mind. It's purely meditation, and we lose that.

Capture made entering the blue hour along the coast of Maryland.

Although a bit of a hike, and somewhat crowded, the Cliff Overlook provides magnificent views of Harper's Ferry, WV and the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.

UBHF is seen coming around the horseshoe curve in Sabillasville headed back to Union Bridge.

More lightning that I was able to capture with storms moving through Maryland ... something I would like to try again. It was a pretty neat experience and thrill ... making sure I was not hit by the lightning too.

Early morning along the Atlantic Ocean in Maryland.

Just spent the last two days in western Maryland and West Virginia ... up in the mountains. Here near Savage Mountain in Western Maryland ... the hoarfrost here was nearly 3/4 inch thick on the trees. The fog that covered the peaks in the mountains added to the wintry scene.

A moody morning there along the Maryland coastline.

Late day after sunset on a pretty spring evening in Middle River, Maryland.

Bulb long exposure into the late evening on the Chesapeake Bay.

Mix of light there on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland.

Mid of lighting along this cove in the early morning.

This osprey was returning to its nest and hovered for a couple seconds allowing for this close in shot.

Late evening looking over the inlet area in Ocean City, Maryland.

Early morning along the Atlantic Ocean in Maryland.

I expect this would be called a weed. But the plant produced lots of wind-ready fruit, and it looked elegant, for a weed.

Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

Late day lighting over the river.

Middle River was nearly a mirror on this interesting evening with the clouds.

A moody cloudy morning there along the Maryland coast.

Gunpowder River in Maryland as evening takes over.

UBHF is climbing the grade passing one of the old WM block signals in Sabillasville.

... the rocks is the Potomac River here between Maryland and Virginia. This is in the Maryland Great Falls National Park side.

Have been in West Virginia this weekend exploring the mountains and Fall colors, as well as the Branch rivers that feed into the Potomac River. These smaller rivers are just as pretty up in the mountains.

The beautiful Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Maryland

Late in the sunset the colors exploded for a short time period.

Drove through north central Maryland and stopped to take pictures of some very beautiful horses. This part of Maryland has many horse farms. Gorgeous part of the state. This particular horse was very friendly, the others wandered away but he stayed and posed for me.

I guess a HFF is appropriate for this photograph .. : )

Baltimore, Maryland

Sunset peaked over Maryland.

Osprey with meal pulled from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maryland.

I am not that good with a brush in my hand, but give me two minutes with the shutter open I can get pretty close to painting this scene.

Might be neat to take one of these shots from Ocean City and apply some brush textures to it ;)
