Pics of a lovely visit to Swallows Falls State Park in Maryland.
Not many photo opportunities when you’re quarantined, except the view out the window. But what a nice view it is:
Well, at least on my blog. The woods around our house have looked like this for a while now:
We spent the last few days driving across the plains from Denver to Virginia with our new dog, Tally. There wasn’t much to photograph while driving:

Captured in the early morning just before landing at Charles de Gaulle airport outside of Paris. I can almost smell the croissants that a bakery down there probably is serving up right now.

Captured these while driving toward Guanella Pass in Colorado. I was most excited about the moose sighting. 🙂
Here’s another shot – this one more panoramic.
Enjoying the view on a beautiful morning in Boulder, CO.

On Hilton Head:
As seen out the door of the train I took to Mysore. Unlike trains in the US or Europe, in India one can open the doors while the train is moving and get some fresh air (and better pictures than through a smudged train window).
Captured on Halloween, behind our house. No retouching necessary. 🙂
Captured these webs on today’s morning walk in Vermont.

Loved coming across this little pond with a small dock and bench to relax on.
Captured during rain storm over DC tonight:

Walked to the Mall after work on Friday and captured these photos. A wonderful time to be in DC, except this year it’s unseasonably cold. Nevertheless, the water’s edge was packed with tourists (i.e. camera-toting) and locals (i.e. picnicking).
Captured while walking with Mario through the woods behind our house in the morning:
iPhone, slight edits in Lightroom
As seen from our backyard porch. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Captured the morning flare in DC and I thought I would contrast it with a photo I shot in CT a few months ago.
Spent a lovely day in Yellowstone National Park the day before the solar eclipse to see some of the more iconic sights near Old Faithful. Click on any pic to see them in slideshow format:
Caught this serene scene of the saltwater marshes of Clinton while walking the dog through the morning fog:
Played around with a 10-stop neutral density filter at sunset and came up with this:

A quiet Sunday afternoon at Clinton Beach – hopefully the start of the warm weather season.
Came across this small country cemetery along route 301 while driving through North Carolina.

I used Snapseed’s new double exposure feature to create this scene, which combines two different views from the Clinton town beach:
