Photographing Our Nations Capital! Part 2

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. ~Frank Lloyd Wright~

Shenandoah National Park was in our initial plans while visiting Virginia; it came sooner than we had planned.  Since our bodies ached from the prior days jaunt around downtown DC, we decided a nice drive might give us time to recover from sore muscles.  While that turned out to me a mistake, the mountains were turned out to be breathtaking!


There wasn’t as much color as I had hoped for in mid October, but just being in the mountains among all the natural wonders, and beautiful scenery made it worth the trip!  We stayed late into the night, and walked away with some awesome shots!

I love to drag the shutter when I photograph moving water… it gives it that misty surreal look… and who doesn’t like the dream world?  I found a few very interesting little brooks in Shenandoah National Park, some where off the beaten trail, but I’m glad we searched them out.  I also found it fascinating that some of the mountain rocks cried, nature is a wondrous thing, and should always be looked upon with an open heart and compassionate soul.  I get back to myself when I wander through nature; it’s so much more peaceful than the hustle and bustle of daily life… which makes me appreciate it even more.


I’m going to keep this post short, and let you enjoy one of the amazing pieces of earth left to take pleasure in.


Love, Laughs, & Photographs,
Wendy
