Piney Run Park Again










I took one of the granddaughters to Piney Run Park to play on the playground equipment this week. I shot a few entries on the park in the winter with a coating of snow and ice. This is a good contrast as Spring comes to Carroll County.

Piney Run













































Well, I made it to Piney Run Park this morning. It wasn't as fruitful as I hoped, but I got a few images to share. I saw three swans enjoying the water, but never was able to get a good image. I will keep trying. I love to shoot nature and Spring is coming. There have been a lot of geese in the air over Carroll County the past week.

Morgan Run
































































The snow is disappearing, so I thought I would stop by Morgan Run to snap a few images. The water was running high from the snow melt. Shirley went along with me, which I always enjoy. One of things that upset me at Morgan Run was the trash laying around. People if you carry it in, carry it out. The snow is going fast and I hope to stop by Piney Run Park tomorrow.

Piney Run Park



















After the weekend snow, I decided to visit Piney Run Park and boy I am I glad I did.
Piney Run is a county park in southern Carroll County, near Eldersburg. The park opens at 8 a.m Monday through Friday and is free during the winter. The park closes at 4 p.m.
After getting through school traffic on Linton Road I was on my way. I was thinking about what the park would look like as I was going down White Rock Road. I looked to the right to see the sun rise. I hit the brakes and looked for a place to turn around. The trees at the end of the lake were coated in ice. So I shot a few close-ups and then aimed my camera on Piney Run which runs into the lake.
I like to shoot during the warm months at Piney Run along with fishing. For some reason I just had not visited there in winter in about 25 years. That was a mistake which was corrected this morning.
On the way back home, I shot along Linton Road and got a nice image of a deer trying to cross the stream. It's nice to have the camera handy for those magic moments.
