Susquehannock State Park

This past week, on the equinox, we journeyed to Susquehannock State Park on a cold and grey day to take pictures for my self-directed project, 52 Ways to Look at the River.  I didn't mind the weather, because I knew from past visits that the scenery is incomparable.  The approach to the cliff edge is inviting, especially with the trees still leafless:

 And the 180+ degree vista from Hawk Point Overlook is superb in any season:

 There are islands and other features to draw the eye, including Mount Johnson Island, the world’s first bald eagle sanctuary:

 Off in the distance downriver, one can spot the Norman Wood Bridge:

 Zooming in a bit on the bridge:

 Which was the subject of Week 26:

And I am always charmed by this Bausch and Lomb binocular--for 25 cents you will gain a whole new perspective:

My final pick for this week's inspiration image--and it was a hard choice--is this view upriver.  Osprey often nest on the power towers seen here:

Here is the resultant panel I made back in the studio.  The panel is 6" x 12", on a base of wool/rayon felt, needlefelted with silk and wool, stitched, and painted:
