This was taken at the same time as this lone tree and my second time trying to capture this image. I really like the softness the fog brought to this image as well as the color.

Tropical Storm Lee finally left! After 4 straight days of crazy rain I finally saw sun!!
The next morning I went out to take pictures for sunrise and I was really hoping for some crazy colors in the sky but I think I got something better. I got a beautiful sunrise with a slight fog which really soften things up.
I was really nervous once I got to Manassas, VA, where this image was shot. . Light usually peaks up about 30 minutes before the sunrises but it was so dark that I could barely see anything. If you’ve been to Manassas than you know there aren’t that many people to begin with and at 6am theres hardly anyone. For some reason I get nervous when no one is around as opposed to a lot of people around. I stayed in my car for about 15 minutes before I go the courage to finally step out.
Lesson learned when photographing after a tropical storm and fog: wear water proof pants! My pants were soaked to my knees at the end of this trip.
Hi Everybody!!
Hope you all had a great week and an awesome Labor Day! It’s been raining the past week here, so its been a little difficult taking new images. So, I made a video about it! Check it out:
Now, here are my images.
I spent a day in Rehoboth Beach over the weekend and found this very cool, very blue Vespa
Then I had to look back at some of my older images for this US Capitol shot and
Jefferson Memorial.
I finally braved the rain and visited Meadowlark Gardens for some macro images. Pink Flower Water Droplets
Now, I just can’t wait for the leaves to start changing. This image was taken last year around this tme of Shenandoah National Park
FamousDC is doing an awesome tribute to 9/11 next week where they are asking everyone to send them in pictures of American flags around the DC area. Here’s my contribution:
Hope you all had a great week and hopefully I’ll be back next week with some sunny images 🙂

So, its still raining. This is forcing me to go back, all the way back to last year. This image was taken at Shenandoah National Park along skyline drive for sunrise.
Going back through these images makes me wonder how I actually took these images and what I was thinking. It’s pretty funny.
Have I ever told you that Great Falls is one of my favorite spots to take pictures of in the Washington DC metro area. I’m pretty sure I have, because its my FAV!
I came here knowing I was going to take this shot. Recently, I’ve been climbing rocks and avoiding water puddles to try to get some closer up shots of the falls, but I had none that were from the look out areas. It’s funny because thats what most people think of when they think of Great Falls, the areas where you’re suppose to be, not climbing rocks and avoiding puddles. I must confess though, I did jump over the overview fence, despite the clear sign that says not to. I just wanted to get a better shot. Can you blame me?
If you made it this far… it’s my birthday! YAYAY! Go Virgos!!
The calm before the storm.
So, Hurricane Irene sounds like its going to be huge! I can’t wait! Can you imagine all the photo possibilities? Of course, I hope everyone is safe but I can’t wait to take some sunrise and sunset images 🙂
This was taken this morning at sunrise. It was so nice being outside, the weather was really cool but not cold. Just being by the water was so peaceful. It’s a great way to start the morning.
