Anyone else feel like they need some waterfall therapy on this Wednesday? Wow, it’s been a bit of a crazy week here and it’s only halfway over! Wishing I could get out for a quick waterfall hike to relax and reset but, for now at least, I’ll just have to settle for the pictures. Happy #waterfallwednesday everyone! 💦 Today’s featured image is from Brush Creek Falls in Athens, WV ( #mercercountywv). It’s a favorite of mine but I haven’t visited often because I don’t like the very narrow winding road to get there. Wish WV could have created a bit wider path for two vehicles to pass 🤪. Narrowly missed being hit by a very large truck in a curve this time….hmm. April 30, 2024 Nikon Z9 & Nikkor Z 14-24 f/13 20 sec.

Peering out from under the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia. This span weighs 88 million pounds and has a height of 876 feet off the New River.

This is the Madonna of the Trail Monument located in Wheeling, West Virginia. “Wheeling Madonna of the Trail is one of a series of 12 monuments dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States. Created by sculptor August Leimbach and funded by contributions, the monuments were commissioned by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) and installed in each of the 12 states along the National Old Trails Road, which extended from Cumberland, Maryland, to Upland, California. The statue is a fitting tribute to the brave pioneer mothers who aided so much in the progress of this country. These brave women backed their men folks through hardships, privations and during hard Indian battles. Without the pioneer women, there would have been no progress in this country.

So cool to see these massive virgin hemlocks at Cathedral State Park. We were on our way back and it was pretty cold so I wish I had more time to explore and find some better green and white contrast but at least I got to capture essentially just how big these things are.

Last weekend, on the morning of May 11th, 2024, @missuselives and I went with some friends to Cooper’s Rock. We showed them some of our favorite trails and all of the interesting boulders along those trails. The morning sunlight was bright and it illuminated the leaves and the rhododendrons. . . . . . #Adventures #AlmostHeaven #AppreciateImprovement #Canon #CanonPhotography #CoopersRock #BestVirginia #GoToWV #Home #Spring #Rhododendron #Mountains #OnlyInWestVirginia #PlaceIBelongWV #Storyteller #WVAdventures #WVExplored #WVWildlife #WestVirginia #WVStateParks #CoopersRockStateForest #YourShotPhotographer

Domestic violence isn’t always bruises, scars and broken bones. Although it most certainly can be. Sometimes it looks like frequent trips to a therapist, calls to the Police instead of trips to the emergency room. It isn’t always something you openly discuss. It carries a lot of shame, and even embarrassment. Sometimes it is manipulation and gas lighting, love bombing even. Sometimes it looks like being held hostage and unable to leave the situation. Sometimes it is Power/Control strategies and feeling intimidated. It’s being isolated from your friends and family. It’s being convinced that you are worthless, that no one will ever love you. It’s questioning EVERY SINGLE THING you have ever known to be true because they have spent so much time just slowing chipping away at your sanity. ▫️ If I ever make an impact in this world, let it not be for my photography but for my message and my voice. If you or someone you love is facing domestic violence please reach out for help. If you notice red flags, if you feel it in your gut, PLEASE listen. 📣 If they tell you that they will change, don’t listen! Get yourself out of that situation. If things get physical and they tell you that they’ll never do it again, leave and remove yourself from that situation. I know that you love and care about them, but someone that feels the same about you would never degrade, intimidate, manipulate, hit you or abuse you. You deserve better. No matter what they’ve made you believe. ▫️ If you or someone you love is experiencing this, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799-7233 ▫️ #westvirginia #wvtourism #raw_southeastusa #wvphotographer #wvstateparks #wvliving #wvcommunity #wildandwonderful #wildandwonderfulwv #onlyinwestvirginia #onlyinyourstate #almostheavenwv #raw_community #waterfallsofinstagram #domesticviolence #dv #dvawareness #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #cathedralfalls

📍NEW RIVER GORGE- ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO ---------- New River Gorge National Park and Preserve started in 1978, but in 2021, it got a new name. It's a big area, covering over 70,000 acres and 53 miles along the New River from Bluestone Dam to Hawk's Nest Lake. The New River is an old river, and it flows through deep canyons. It's the deepest and longest gorge in the Appalachian Mountains, found in southern West Virginia. ---------- When you hike on the park's trails, go rafting on the river, or bike along an old railroad path, you'll see stunning views that definitely deserve to be part of our national park system. ---------- Rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, and camping are highly popular activities amongst park visitors. ---------- Other National Park Service programs include guided historic walks, nature programs, and an abundance of programs for kids too. In short, this huge park has activities for all shapes, sizes, and kinds. Don’t pass this one up if you’re in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia. ---------- Follow: @triformative ---------- Photocred: @appalachianash @mindyonthemove @smcnierney #newrivergorge #TriFormative #TonyaSweetser #onlyinwestvirginia #westvirginia #waterfalling #waterfallsofinstagram #virginiaisbeautiful #bestplacetogo #bestplacestovisit

It’s another wonderful #waterfallwednesday 🤩 Time to take a break from all the gorgeous #auroraborealis photos in your feed and enjoy some peaceful waterfall scenes! Today’s waterfall feature is #mashforkfallswv located in #campcreekstatepark . This is a spot I enjoy visiting frequently. It’s super easy to access and is just a peaceful place to spend a couple hours even if I’m not there for photography. On my most recent visit, I didn’t even plan to photograph the falls but couldn’t pass up an opportunity to do a little river wading on my last day there and capture a few images. Hope you enjoy! 5-1-24 Nikon Z9 & Nikkor Z 24-120 f/10 ISO 64 3 sec All Rights Reserved (c) Stephanie Sheffield ✨Sharing is Appreciated ✨ #momentsbystephanie #waterfallwednesday #almostheavenwv #westvirginia #bestofthemountainstate #bestoftheusa_water #onlyinwestvirginia #mashforkfallswv #mashforkfalls #wvexplored #wvphotography #campcreekstatepark #waterfalls💦 #waterfallsofinstagram #exploremore #dowhatyoulove #inspiredbynature #whatsyourpassion #landscapephotographymagazine #tamarack #tamarackwv #chasingwaterfalls #wvstateparks #wvliving #outdoorphotomag #mercercounty #blueridgeoutdoors #chasingwaterfalls #wvstateparks #campinglife

On Friday night, @missuselives and I paid @km61090 and @josie890711 a visit along with @itsallyyyyp to watch the aurora borealis. Al was just visiting us at our house when Josie reminded me of the solar storm which was occurring. At around 9:30pm, Al, Elizabeth, and I packed up my camera equipment and we went to Kelsey’s. Living in town has its benefits but we had way too much light pollution to enjoy the aurora. Kelsey’s house is just far enough from town that their view of the sky was a little clearer. We were worried about the fog at first and I wasn’t sure if I was seeing the flares or if it was just some clouds. After our eyes adjusted, we could clearly see the colors of the aurora. The fog added some depth at different times and even affected the colors. We focused first North toward the Big Dipper and then later Southwest toward Leo. By Saturday, we hoped to see an encore but we were not blessed with one. I took some shots of the clouds passing the stars, but there were no atmospheric flares while we watched. . . . . . . . #Shinnston #ShinnstonWV #Spring #Home #WV #Adventures #Storyteller #WVWildlife #OnlyInWestVirginia #GoToWV #WVExplored #Nature_WV #Canon #AlmostHeaven #WVExplored #CanonPhotographers #WestVirginia #WVAdventures #CountryRoads #BestVirginia #YourShotPhotographer #PlaceIBelongWV #Aurora #AuroraBorealis #SolarStorm #BigDipper #UrsaMajor #Leo

As we moved from April into May, our flowers have changed ever so slightly. We have our Prayer Plant hanging inside and a few wild Garden Star of Bethlehem flowers by our sidewalk. The maple tree to our north side just started to open leaves over the ignited azalea bush. Just under the azalea, we had several violet patches and lilies of the valley. As we walked around to the eastern front yard, our spirea and weigela were filling in and blooming and the peonies were budding. We had a repeat visitor to nibble on our strawberries. I just love my grandma’s perennial flower garden and the way they surprise me throughout the Springtime. . . . . . . #Bridgeport #BridgeportWV #Spring #WV #Adventures #Storyteller #WVWildlife #OnlyInWestVirginia #GoToWV #WVExplored #Canon #AlmostHeaven #CanonPhotographers #WestVirginia #WVAdventures #YourShotPhotographer #PlaceIBelongWV #Flowers #PrayerPlant #GardenStarOfBethlehem #Maple #Azalea #Violet #Spirea #Weigela #Peonies #Strawberry #LilyOfTheValley #Rabbits #BunniesOfInstagram
