Cunningham Falls State Park
Saturday, Bobby and I took a day-long excursion to Cunningham Falls State Park, near Frederick, Maryland. CFSP boasts--among other things--the State's second-largest waterfall: a 78-foot (23.8 meters) cascading waterfall

Btw, Bobby and I are watching Episode III and at the part where Anakin flies out of bed from a nightmare, I totally thought of you. ;)

Actually, I have a card that I bought for you and I'm going to send you a picture CD instead, complete with our pictures from that Saturday along with other pics of the babies.:)

You might regret saying that when we get back from Puerto Rico with a digital camera bursting with pictures of every ant, bird, and grain of sand between San Juan and our resort.... ;)

Given Maedhros' track record with events involving water and boats, I left him home that day! ;)

Hehe...well, unless you work for Maryland Parole and Probation, I can assure you that I'm not!
(And if I am, please let me know: If I supervise people, I can move up to Research Analyst II and get a pay raise! :^D)
And that looks like it was a monstrously fun day! That's a beautiful lake... :-D I'm a canoe/kayak/windsurf counselor at the YMCA camp I work at, so I'm in and around the water all the time, and that particular water looks fantastic. *loves water*
How cool! I love water too, though I hadn't been out in a canoe since the age of nine. But we loved it, and when we went to Sunny's the next day to buy a knife to taking hiking and diving in Puerto Rico, my husband was seen checking out the prices of kayaks.... ;)

There is something fascinating and beautiful about watching cloud-shadows move on mountains.
There certainly is! When I was in Italy (can you tell I'm obsessed about Italy?) we were in Volterra, a small town perched on a rock above the hills of Tuscany. I remember there was a place where you could look down from the city walls and see the shadows of the clouds move over the fields. It was fantastic. (I shall have to look if I find a photo of that somewhere on the net...)
It is my nature-snob's opinion that no "trail" lined with gravel or containing fences to keep hapless walkers from falling over the side should count as a trail. If you're not getting your boots sucked off in mud, ducking under fallen trees, and possibly tramping through dung, then you're not really hiking.I think you would like the teacher I had when I was in school. He used to take our class hiking/biking/canoeing/whatever several times and we ( ... )

But I'll take that over cold, miserable weather any day...just as long as we have air conditioning in the apartment. Last year, when the temperatures soared, we discovered that our unit wasn't working. Great timing. o.O
I remember reading the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder as a kid (I used to fangurl them like I now fangurl the Sil) and she would always talk about the cloud-shadows moving across the prairie and I was so disappointed that it didn't work in my backyard. I'm glad to appreciate them now on the mountains ( ... )

I long for some warmth over here. We have about 10°C, far too cold for June. The only bad thing about some heat would be the fact that I do not have air conditioning at all, and my apartment faces south. So when it starts getting really warm all I'll wear is loose skirts and bikini tops, and I'll need a cold shower every morning. But I'm so tired of being cold right now. :--/
And when I visit Italy someday, if I end up in Volterra, I will look for it there too! ;^D
I bet you'd like it. And - among us - they have fantastic ice-cream there, too! :-D

10C?! Yech! Thanks for making me grateful for our typical hot, muggy Maryland summer! ;)
