My favorite photos of Shenandoah National Park.

With Shenandoah National park minutes away from our farm in Albemarle County, Virginia and a few hours away from my current home in Falls Church, I have spent and continue to spend a lot of time in the Park trying to capture and share some of its beauty. Lately, I seem to frequent the park for astrophotography, as it has some of the closest, fairly dark skies, for wildlife like the white tailed deer and barred owls, and of course I love trying to capture the wonderful autumn colors.

The newest photos are first in the gallery, and then the photos are a mix of groupings by my favorites, subjects and years. I encourage you to use the filter if you're looking for a specific subject, like "Milky Way" or "owls".

I have also created a new gallery for my photos of White Tailed Deer. Most of those photos were taken in Shenandoah National Park, but there are quite a few from other spots as well. I will be culling many of the older photos of White Tailed Deer from this gallery.

Navigation Tips

Here are some suggestions that I hope will improve your experience while looking at the galleries here at CathySummers.com.

• To see just the photos that I consider my better shots in a given gallery, use the filter form at the top of each gallery page and select a higher number in the "Stars / Rating" option.
• If you're using a desktop or laptop computer with a larger screen, click on the "+" sign at the top right corner of the thumbnail grid to expand the grid to the full width of the browser window.
• Select a smaller number in the images per row buttons at the bottom of the thumbnails to reduce the number of images per row, which allows each image to expand.
• If you have a fast internet connection, enter a large number in the images per page if you want to see all of the photos in the gallery without having to move back in forth between pages.
• In most of my fine art galleries, you can enter the keyword "horizontal" to see just photos in the landscape/horizontal orientation, or "vertical" or "square" to see images in those orientations.
• Click the small "X" in the top right corner to close this list, and the tips should be hidden throughout your browsing session.
