Autumn In Leonardtown Oct 30, 2026

We visited Leonardtown twice to photograph Autumn scenes and leaves.  Here are some favorites from the first visit.  I was attempting to view leaves floating in the water by the Leonardtown Wharf and in the town as well.  I was impressed with some of the latest additions to the Leonardtown Wharf since I was last there.  You can actually play chess at a special table, hopscotch, some type of putting green  and table tennis now.

Happy Halloween

 I still remember some fun Halloween parties we had years ago.  At our fun party, my mother-in-law, the sneaky woman, walked around the house and knocked at her own front door.  Hours later, we discovered that the ghost hiding under a sheet was her!  We had no idea she was at the party.  It was good for a laugh anyway.

Happy Halloween!  And don't forget to set your clocks back an hour tonight.

BIrds of St Marys County

A few of the various birds I have seen this year in St. Mary's County.  Although the last one was cheating a little, since it isn't exactly biologically organic.

Apple Basket Store

 We visited The Apple Basket Antiques one quiet afternoon, since I haven't been there in a long time.  I think I mostly visited around Christmas time in the past.  They had quite a variety of antiques, old cameras, a Maryland Room, a fairly large collection of beanie babies and toys, pretty vases, wines tastefully arranged in front of the window, old records, and more.  A fun place to visit for interesting additions to your home decor.  It's also a fun place to explore, since you don't know what you will find.

Hours:

St Marys County Fair 2026

 Just a few favorites from the County Fair this year.  The Strolling Piano and Parakeets were new this year.
