So unique




Isn't  it so very unique?  I so wanted to ask  about this pair of shoes but the shy part  of me  says  "what for?"

Great Falls of the Potomac River



The Great Falls area, I think, is the most spectacular part of the Potomac River. The river plunges about 60 feet  in less than a mile, then flows through   a deep gorge (Mather Gorge).  While both the Virginia & Maryland sides offer great  views of the Great Falls, I think,  the Maryland side offers a more spectacular & panoramic views of the Great Falls.

If  you are the outdoor-type of person  then  this place is  definitely worth checking out.   If you love to walk but not an avid hiker you'll  still love this place;  if you love the calming effect of water, then Great Falls is your therapeutic place.  Also, there are benches to sit on,   lots  of picnic tables,  a  small place  that serves hot dogs, chips, sodas is also available.   $5 per car to get into  the park.

Some photos I took of the Great Falls.

  Kayaking, whitewater rafting & rock climbing are some of the outdoor popular sports in the Great Falls area, none of which seems to interest this blogger, besides, only experienced kayakers, whitewater rafters,  rock climbers are allowed.
Visitors,  hikers, joggers, nature lovers watch the  scenic views of the Great Falls of the Potomac.

This is the lookout  on  the Billy  Goat Trail,  accessible from Maryland,  that offers stunning, magnificent  views of  the Great Falls.

All cakes, all the time



When I saw these beautifully decorated,  mouth-watering  wedding cakes  on display in Westminster, Maryland,  few weeks ago, I remember the cake  at  a wedding  reception  I attended  sometime in 2011.  I  wanted to swipe my finger  on that $2,000-dollar-wedding cake & taste how good it was.

Little Seneca Lake



This is the Little Seneca Lake, located on Black Hill  Regional Park, in Clarksburg, Maryland.  There are  lots of activities you can do in and around the lake, whether you're in the park for  family get together, meeting someone or just here for a walk, you can experience  Little Lake Seneca by  renting a canoe, kayak or  rowboat  or  hop into the pontoon boat for a guided tour of the lake  and enjoy the wildlife that calls this lake their home.
I come here mostly in the evenings to relax &  I have  taken  countless photographs in and around the lake, including sunsets.
These photos were taken on different days &  times.

This is where  one  can get  rental boats, canoes, kayaks  & the pontoon boat.

This is me, one  cold & windy afternoon, in early  May 2012, waiting for the sunset.
