Sunset On The Potomac

It was quite windy and cold on the Potomac River this particular day.  I would walk around and take pictures for about five minutes and then sit in the car until I warmed up enough to get out and do it again.  I think I should invest in a pair of fingerless gloves for outside picture taking in the winter months.

I love sunsets, but then who doesn't?  A sunset over the water is incredibly breathtaking with nothing to obstruct the view.  The sparkly reflection of the sun on the water, the painted sky in shades of pinks, oranges, and purples is nothing short of spectacular.  In fact, it's downright awe inspiring.

I may have to do this more often.  I was the only one there and the uninterrupted time in that setting was a real treat.  It was a time of reflection and putting some things to rest and letting go.  It was good for the soul.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Point Lookout ~ Blogtoberfest Day 17

At the southernmost tip of Maryland's western shore is a peninsula formed by the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River.  It's known as Point Lookout.  We spent Sunday walking around the park and enjoying a mildly warm albeit windy day.

This is the Potomac side.  That is a lighthouse on the left and is not in use anymore.

This is the Bay side.  It has much less beach than the river side, but has a couple of fishing piers.

While on the Bay side we found deer tracks

While on the river side we saw deer.

It was fun to come across this while walking on the beach before the tide washed it away.

The park is full of pine trees.  Pine cones covered the ground and reminded us of the time we lived in North Carolina.  I brought a couple of them home, but I might have to go back for more for holiday decorating!

What kind of fun did you have over the weekend?

Have a marvelous Monday!
