Even though it's a little early, we went for a drive up to Cunningham Falls in the Catoctin Mountains to see if we could catch some fall color. The falls are almost as scant as they were when Lew took the boys in July, and the leaves are still pretty green. Looks like it'll be another couple of weeks or so before they put on their display.
I went out in the yard to take a picture of something with water and the birdbath, but got distracted by this little critter hopping around my feet. It was funny how it seemed to be hanging on to a blade of grass for dear life as I crawled around getting close-ups and its bent antenna was almost dapper - kind of Jiminy Cricket-ish. ;)
I also got this reflection in the birdbath water.
A last minute shot, the cat's water dish is about as creative as I got tonight.
Didn't have to go far to get this shot. Just turned the hose on in the back yard and had at it. I did, however, play a little with some photo editing and added a bit of shadow and sharpening to emphasize the water flow.
The blue dishcloth sticks out like a sore thumb in my red and white kitchen, but that way we always know where it's at! ;)
Tackling another spring ritual, Lew hit the deck today with the power spray to wash and prepare it for a water seal treatment. Since the forecast is for rain tomorrow, it may be awhile before it's dry enough for that step.
We had an absolutely gorgeous day today so while we were out and about, we stopped for a bit at Baker Park to enjoy the lake and its inhabitants.
Lord, it was oppressively stifling out there today! Me and my compromised lungs wouldn't have been out except for another unplanned trip to the dentist. But, we made it worth our while. On the way home, we stopped in town to take a picture of and enjoy the cooling mist of this fountain.
Having not idea one for an original photo today, but wanting to try to duplicate TNChick's (Photo Hunters) water photo, here's my attempt. Not as cool as hers, but not too bad for a first try. I love the stop action of the water!
This past week of chill has really brought out the colors and today the weather was just glorious, so we took off again looking for more fall eye-candy. This little pretty lives right up the street from us.
Back in Cunningham Falls State Park, we found a spot where we were able to get down closer to Hunting Creek.
On the way back home we stopped near Buckeystown to enjoy the scenic Monocacy River.
