Swallow Falls State Park, Maryland...

is now a favorite of mine. I wasn't going to post more photos of this, but I saw my Mom's pics and felt compelled...
This is the start of the trail, at least 250 stairs leading down to this growing sound of roaring water...See the ice? The air was so oxygenated, I swear it gave me a lift! There was mist all over the area from the falling water, so fresh!These naturaly occuring stairs we too cool! It made me imagine a scene from Lord of the Rings or something, justbeautiful. The trees are what really makes this place though. The old Spruce and Hemlock trees are keeping a million secrets, you can feel it in the air!My Mom took this pic as fast as she could, I was really close to the edge... I can't wait till it's camping season! We will be hitting this place to camp ASAP! The kids will love all the ancient rocks to climb on, and Jamie and I have already mentaly communicated the serious intention of kayaking this place! Why can't I live here?
