Autumn splendor in Ricketts Glen State Park is hard to beat. These stairs take you to the top of Sheldon Reynolds Falls via the Falls Trail.
One of my best strategies for doing bird and wildlife photography is to take my camera for a ride. I found this opossum eating rotting apples out of a tiny tree along a back country road. I pulled over and photographed him at nearly point blank range for fifteen minutes. He was worried at first, but quickly realized that I was less dangerous than the apples were delicious. The light faded; I left him to his dinner and drove home for mine.
I wanted to create a photograph in Ricketts Glen State Park that captured the essence of what it is like to hike the Falls Trail. I think this one fits the bill. The trail follows along Kitchen Creek and affords views of approaching waterfalls one after another. 21 in all.
