Wonderful Waterfalls

Of the 13 public waterfalls in the State of Maryland, Muddy Creek Falls, in western Garrett County (Appalachian Plateau), is the highest free-falling waterfall in the State at 54 feet.  This waterfall is majestic, not matter what time of the year you got visit.  Muddy Creek Falls can be found in Swallow Falls State Park.

 The photo below was taken August 4th, mid-day.  It was a perfect Summer day, temp's around 78, and no humidity (standard for a Garrett County Summer day).

I've never met a sunset I didn't like...

East Coast Sunsets, or West Coast Sunsets... which are your favorite? Some of the best sunsets I have ever seen, have been right at my back door, here along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (see my first post).  Southern California certainly offers some of the best money can buy though!  Watching the sun go down either across the Pacific Ocean or over the mountains (or both, as in my photo below) is nothing short of spectacular.  But I must say that I believe the best sunsets are along the Gulf Coast of Florida...  You can just see forever... they are amazing 💖 Venice Beach, California Venice Beach Life Guard Station, California Clearwater Beach, Florida

They call Maryland "America in Miniature" and Garrett County is part of the reason why. Have you ever been to the Mountains of Western Maryland?  It's about a 4 hour drive Northwest of Washington DC.  And the views are spectacular!   Garrett County is a three-season location.  The Fall offers beautiful changes in color.  The Fall Foliage is some of the best on the East Coast.  Winter is a joy, with plenty of snow and ski slopes.  Spring (well, we skip this season )  and Summer ... that is where Deep Creek Lake comes in.  60 miles of shoreline and lots of fun to be had.  boating, skiing, swimming, canoeing, jet-skiing, hiking... I could go on for a while longer, but I think you get the point...   The weather can be temperamental, so plan ahead, but be ready for change! So, after a quick weekend trip to the Deep Creek Lake this past weekend, I came home with this gem of a sunset photo!  Brrrrr it was cold on Saturday!  But it  produced some pretty skies.  Mounta
