Guilford Pratt Railroad Bridge

2017-11-11T17:59:24Z

Guilford Pratt Railroad Bridge seen from the Little Patuxent River. This was after a day of rain at the beginning of November. We have occasionally seen the water nearly touching the bottom of the bridge at times after an incredibly heavy rainfall or the rare tropical storm remnants. Occasionally a tree from one of the prior storms will lodge where the grassy patch is.

Green Climber Ivy

Green ivy climbing up a tree with the last remnants of fall in the background. Unsure what type of tree this is. Green ivy was the best fitting match searching Google.

B & O Railroad

2017-11-11T15:29:24Z

Mid-morning view of B & O Railroad - Old Main Line looking east. Directly north of Patapsco Swinging Bridge in the Glen Artney area of Patapsco Valley State Park. There is a small unmarked path up to the railroad tracks. We did see a train coming by about an hour later. While they do not want people so close to the tracks for safety reasons and being private property, it was an interesting experience being able to be close-up to a long set of railcars.

Centennial Park Self-Portrait

2017-10-28T23:59:24Z

Centennial Park just a few steps to the left of the jetty from the prior picture. I consider this to be a photographer self-portrait of sorts and find it a unique take on "selfies".

Centennial Park Jetty

2017-10-28T23:45:24Z

Centennial Park jetty at the Centennial Lake Boat Ramp. I prefer to use the wide-angle for these types of shots on sunny days. I have been working on centering items and using the rule of thirds more recently. It makes for a great phone background.

Sugarloaf Mountain Orange Trail

2017-10-15T20:24:24Z

Sugarloaf Mountain in Urbana, Maryland. Beginning of the Orange Trail at East View Parking Lot. I did not take any pictures heading up this trail as it is a very steep climb. I hit my camera lens several times on the way up and my husband had to help me climb up at one point.

Centennial Lake

2017-10-11T21:00:42Z

Centennial Lake along the southern portion of the lake loop. With the leaves starting to change locally, I had wanted to venture to some local parks to see how the foliage was. It wasn't as strong as I'd hoped. Several geese were passing by to join the few to my west.
