This can be seen while hiking at the forbidden trail in Pennsylvania. This is a great place for family outings or a peaceful walk to your self as you enjoy the fresh air and beautiful landscape. Many people come here to hike, walk there dogs, and mountain bike with friends and family. 

In Motion

"Everyone who's serious about what they're doing must be in constant motion forward."

Muddy Creek Falls

Muddy Creek Falls is the highlight of Swallow Falls State Park being one of the highest waterfalls in Maryland, standing at 53 feet high. The park offers some of Maryland's breathtaking scenery such as; white water rapids, numerous trails to hike, and deep pools for swimming. 

Reflections

Reflections in photography can lead to some amazing effects and extraordinary images that pop off the screen. The use of water, windows, mirrors or any kind of reflective surface can change the feel of the whole image. The thing about using reflections is that you never know how exactly it will change an ordinary image into something richer and more artistic.These reflections I have photographed where all taken on Cape Cod amongst different harbors. 

26th Annual Parade of Lights

Tonight I went down to the Santa Barbara Pier with a friend to watch the 26th Annual Parade of Lights. This was my first time going to this event it was great seeing crowds of people in the holiday spirit. There where families, couples, friends and more lining the pier to watches as the decorated boats passed by. At the end of the parade there was a small fire work show. Here are a few photos of tonight's festivities if your ever in the area during the holiday season Santa Barbara is filled with things to do with the family. Hope you enjoy. 

The Elegance of the Great Blue Heron

This great blue heron caught my eye one afternoon along the waters edge of the Santa Barbara Harbor. The great blue herons are typically seen along coastlines, in marshes, or near the shores of ponds or streams. They are expert fishers. Herons snare their aquatic prey by walking slowly, or standing still for long periods of time and waiting for fish to come within range of their long necks and blade-like bills.

Fly

Walking along the Santa Barbara Harbor during sunset one evening this Pelican soon caught my attention as it sat along the waters edge. I sat there inching closer to the bird until it realized and began to move almost putting on a show for me. Capturing a bird's image is challenging, frustrating and fun all at the same time.
