NCR Bike Trail

I am linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences
I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.

Happy Autumn everyone!

Sometimes hubby and I like an easy close by walk so we head to the local NCR bike trail. NCR stand for the North Central Railroad.  The whole trail is 20 miles total from Hunt Valley Maryland to the Maryland-Pennsylvania line. It does continue into Pennsylvania toward York Pa. These are some fence scenes from along the trail and my capture of the moon setting in the morning. I also included hubby's sunset shots at our lake.

The moon setting seen from my deck. Just a reminder another Super Moon and the Lunar Eclipse will begin on the evening of Sept 27th and end on the 28th. I am hoping for clear skies during this time.  In our area the eclipse should be visable at 10:47 PM.  I hope I can stay awake!

We have been seeing some Great Blue Herons fishing in the river near the bike trail. A Red Admiral Butterfly and some wildflowers.

This Great Blue Heron is standing tall in the River next to the trail.

The bike trail near the land of the Gnomes.

More of the NCR trail and there is a home off the trail that has this land of the Gnomes.  Near a cascade section of the river there is a sign warning there could Copperhead snakes hidden in the rocks.

A larger view of the Gnomes, there is a warning sign saying it is the Point of Gnome return. Watch out for those sneaky gnomes.

Sunset leaving a pink water... a pretty reflection.

Another one of hubby's photos, more of the reflection at our lake..
Thanks for stopping by for a visit and for your nice comments. Have a happy day and weekend ahead.

Weekend Walk_May 30

Linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences


My post today I sharing some fence scenes from my neighborhood for Tex's Good Fence meme, a bird of course, a couple shots of the sunrise, sunset and the moon for my Skywatch Friday post. I decided everyone needed a break from my vacation photos, so this post is mostly from around my yard and the bike trail.

I have been leaving a little later in the morning and now I am seeing sunrises on my way to work. I like this orange sky and sunrise..

Our weekend walk was along the NCR trail, a local bike, hike and running trail.  There is a pretty cascade falls in one spot we like to stop and admire the view.

This shot above is my perfect find for Tex's Good Fence post.  A view of the fence, trail and the cascading river.

In my mosaic is the cascade, another fence with a sign warning people about Copperhead snakes and some river scenes.

This shot looks better if you click for  a larger size.. Along the trail there is a private house where all these cute gnomes live.. Some gnomes have to stay behind the fence..

 Heading back to the car, I saw a family of Carolina Wrens playing around, they were hopping from branch to branch, it was difficult to get one clear shot.  I heard a lot of other birds along the trail they were just camera shy.

A sunset from my deck, a little color here and there. The sky was still pretty.

My moon shot taken June 3, 2014 is the pretty Waxing Crescent.




While watching the sky and moon I was standing on my deck listening to the sounds of the Great Blue Heron in the tree tops near my neighbors house.  They can get pretty loud, but this sounds reminds me of trains on the track..or a dog breathing real loud.   I hope you enjoyed my post..
