I visited a poppy field in May and June. They are delicate flowers and don't last long in a vase, but they are so artistic to photograph with lots of unusual curves. I suspect they are at their best early in the morning, but these were late afternoon photos.
The concert series opener was called "A Moment for our Thoughts". Here's a few of my favorite photos from Friday night, June 27th.
The next concert features jazz vocalist and alum from St. Mary's College of Maryland, Sara Jones in "A Swingin' Singin' 4th with Sara Jones". Fireworks are planned at the end, weather permitting. The free concert starts at 7 pm on the green at St. Mary's College of Maryland on the next 4 Friday nights. Everyone is invited and there are food vendors available.
Be sure to check out the 2025 program if you want to see some of my photos from previous years. My favorites of Jeffrey Silberschlag are on pages 16-17.
We visited the Michael R Frazer Sunrise Garden in June with its clever sculptures, flowers and wildlife. The garden was apparently renamed in 2022 after the former mayor. It is rare to find such a pretty small garden. There are steep little bridges. The boardwalk next to it is lovely too. I recommend visiting in the off season or maybe early in the day due to parking issues. The beach is quite expensive to park your beach towel on.
More about the dates and features of the upcoming River Concert series that I photograph every year for the Chesapeake Orchestra. Calm Reflections Photography has been the official photographer for the series since 2013. Check out the program later to see some of my photos.

Just playing with flowers from the grocery store. I never know what color I will end up with, so it is challenging to make a still life. Yellow and purple are complimentary or opposite colors on the color wheel.
I had a particularly busy week in late April, so when I had a few minutes between appointments, I stopped at a commercial garden center and photographed some domestic flowers with my phone and even bought a few petunias. Photos can be found everywhere. Enjoy!
