Landscapes

Morning or Evening?

I was fortunate to take a recent trip that allowed me to enjoy a view of the ocean. 

I continue to find the sound of the pounding waves and the call of seagalls flying above calming and stress relieving.

I never tire of watching the waves roll in and recede, dispensing bits of sea weed, shell, and a string of seafoam at waters edge.

And as I stand at sea level, I am totally aware of just how small I am as I look out upon the horizon.  For some strange reason I find comfort in that.

I thought I have a little fun with you and ask if you can tell at what time of day that I took this picture, morning or evening?

Did you say evening?  If so, I’m sorry but you are mistaken.  This shot was taken at approximately 6:15 am.  What a way to start a day.

 


Mountain Meadows

This is a view from the top of Cadel Mountain, part of the Allegheny Mountain range running through the state of West Virginia.

It’s a view that my brother had no problem in pulling the car over to let his little sister (me)  take all the pictures she wanted to.

A big thanks to my brother for indulging me.


A River Amongst the Rocks

He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.  Job 28:9-11


The James

The James River is located in the state of Virginia and is 410 miles long.

It is the 12th longest river in the United States which remains entirely within a single state.

In 1607  The English colonists gave the river its named after King James I of England when they constructed the first permanent English settlement in the Americas  named Jamestown.


A Pelican String

Blue sky hovers above.

A line of white clouds drifting through.

Ocean waves roll white upon sandy shore.

Gray rocks set barrier between land and sea.

String of Pelicans fly gracefully in between.

Perfect serenity.


Fall On the Lake

Someone asked me if I could live anywhere where would that be?

My answer would be in multiples, but I concede to say, that this view from a front porch would suit me just fine.


Hello Fall

Along the banks of Lake Elkhorn

Camera captured a calm lake and Fall leaves.

What the Camera didn’t capture was the sounds of geese as they flew overhead.



Pretty as a Picture

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  How could it not be when you see scene such as this.


Natures Paint Palette

A living Picasso.  It isn’t hard to see why a scene like this inspired the great artists.


Fall on Lake Elkhorn

Lake Elkhorn, Columbia, Md. Such a calming place.
