Sunrise / Moonrise

From our balcony, sunrise over Bethesda. "Red sky at morning..."

This was taken from the parking lot at the YMCA...the fence is around the outdoor pool...the haze is the steam rising from the pool on a cold night

A Little Snow

New Camera, New Photos, New Blog

A "burning bush" of fall...

A full moon brings a new season...

How much longer till opening day?...
