Creek, Hawkins Creamery Road

We have this interesting landscape here in Maryland -- it's kind of like a marsh or bog or something. It stays this same, muted color year round, although it's more pronounced in winter, when nothing around it is green either. I find I really start noticing them, throughout my local travels, once all the leaves have fallen.

I finally have my tripod, so I'd really like to go back and get some more shots of this creek, which has such beautiful lines and textures. I think I may do that this weekend. (The DPS blog has a good post on why tripods are a must have for landscape photography.)

This is the creek I found after I left the pony and the sheep. It was a good outing. :)
