The Beauty of Spring Along the Potomac in Virginia!

Due to my tardiness in getting my photos processed, I'm posting photos from the last two shoots (April 14 & 21) in this one post...


First up: Scott's Run (4/14)



The reflection of the trees and the sun in the water was just perfect!



Reflections in water are "cool" even when they aren't 100% smooth...



 Each of these tiny flowers was about the size of my fingernail!




I need to go back and photograph the Trillium when it is fully open...

Next up: Great Falls! (4/21)


 A study in contrasts - the massive falls vs. a Cormorant.


 I enjoy landscape photography, but I love flower photography!
These little white flowers were about the size of a nickel.


Pink Honeysuckle, just about ready to bloom!


Fiddlehead ferns, unrolling those tender fronds.


For Barbara ~ she's right about the details in those leaves!


A different view of a Dogwood blossom.

Morning light on falls with cormorant, rue anemone, azalea, especially 3 fiddleheads, beech leaves, especially dogwood - exquisite expressions of spring!

I especially love the field of skunks, and also the next (this one seems perhaps a tad super-saturated)for their sense of place. The turtles - caught in the act!?
