We enjoyed the first River concert of the season at St. Mary's College of Maryland on Friday June 23rd.  Besides the talented Chesapeake Orchestra musicians, there were special performances by pianist Marika Bournaki, trumpeter Zachary Silberschlag, and Bryan Bourne on the trombone.

Leonardtown Fun Photo Walk

The St. Mary's County Camera Club got together to photograph Leonardtown recently at 7 pm.  The sky was quite gray and the light wasn't too interesting, but it wasn't raining and we had fun.  Here are the best shots.

Westmoreland State Park

We recently spent a few hours in the Northern Neck of Virginia to pick up some special wood.  We stopped to enjoy lunch and the view on a beautiful day at Westmoreland.  I loved the crescent shaped beaches facing the cliffs.  I spotted a great blue heron close to the cliffs.

      Note the triangle shape in this photo that keeps your eye in the photo.
