Pictures of tonight's Super Full Moon

I received beautiful flowers from my friend, Nikki. So far today has been a very relaxing kind of day. Do you think it is bad that it is 4:30 PM and I am still in my pjs?

Birthday wishes from my favorite radio station, WRQX in Washington, DC

November 5 Photography Meetup at Skyline Drive

On Saturday, November 5,2011 I took a trip with the Frederick County Photography Club to Shenandoah National Park. 5 members attended. The fearless leader, Jamie, rented a van and he drove us to Skyline Drive in Virginia. We parked in the Big Meadows parking lot and hiked to Rose River Falls. On the return hike to the van we came across a momma and baby black bear. I was only able to get one shot which if you didn't know you were looking at a baby bear, you would think that it was a black blob.If you scroll down to the bottom of this post you can see what the bear looked like in a picture taken by a true professional. I was the "scaredy cat" of the group. Some of the members of my group were much more "adventurous" than I and got closer to get a better shot.

In some of the pictures you can see the remaining snow from last weekend's unexpected snow storm. Glad we weren't scheduled that weekend!

NOTE: if you click on the picture, a blown up version of image will show.

This is the bear we saw next to our path. This picture was taken by Jamie, our group organizer. Didn't he do a terrific job? Now you see why I stayed away :o)!

Black Rock Mill

Larry took a vacation day on Wednesday. We drove over to Black Rock Mill so that I could take a few pictures before all the beautiful Fall leaves have fallen from the tree branches.





This picture was taken looking inside the mill door. Unfortunately no one is allowed inside the building so I had to take this through the bars.



This is another angle from the rear of the building





If you look to the lower left side and bottom, Larry is looking pretty seriously at the camera!

Chet didn't seem to mind getting his head wet! It is all about getting the stick!!



What a beautiful blue sky! It was the perfect day.
