My Weekend in Deep Creek, Maryland

This weekend was spent with old friends at a lakehouse in Deep Creek, Maryland.  Besides reminiscing, photography was a part of the weekend too.  Having taken a half day off of work, I stopped first at Swallow Falls State Park with a bag of camera gear and plenty of time to wander around.

This park is a dream for waterfall lovers.  The main hiking trail is only a mile or so long, but it stays alongside a river for most of it and everywhere you look, there is either a waterfall or rapids.  It can be a short and quick hike if you want, but it can also last for hours should you decide to explore every nook and cranny of the abundant rock formations.

Once I finished my hike, it was off to the lakehouse.  The first night was greeted with a beautiful full moon that lit up the lake.  The pictures don’t do it justice.
