The air temperature dipped to mid-40’s (7-8 degrees C.) while the water temperature in the River stayed in mid-70’s this morning. With temperature difference of about 30 degrees F. there is always good chance of seeing river mist (fog), so I decided to get up […]

Great Blue Herons at the Great Falls of Potomac River
Great blue herons are beautiful birds and I love photographing them. Great to see them back to the Great Falls this summer.
More Misty Great Falls
After sorting out all the pictures I took at the Great Falls yesterday morning, I found a few more I like and would like to share them with you. The soft morning light was a magic here.
Mist Great Falls – 2018.10.22.

Great Falls of Potomac
It was a very cold morning at the Virginia Side of the Great Falls Park at 19 degree F. (-9 degrees C.) last Saturday. We were hoping to see some river mist at the Falls but did not see much. The scenery, however is still […]

A Great Blue Heron Takes a Sun Bath
This was an unusual posture of a heron – opened his(her) wings to the sun to dry up the feather after diving into the water to successfully catch a fish. The photo was taken at the Great Falls of Potomac from the Overlook on Maryland […]
Foggy Morning at the Great Falls
When I arrived at the Great Falls on the Maryland side early yesterday morning, I almost could not see across the river on the Virginia side. I had to wait more than an hour after the sunrise so the fog could be lifted. It was […]
Autumn Morning at the Great Falls
This is the best time of the year to photograph the Great Falls of Potomac River for a couple of good reasons, the fall colors in the backdrop and the morning mist in a cold morning. The nature provided that photo opportunity last Sunday, so […]
