Autumn at Hazel Mountain overlook in Shenandoah 2019


There was a parking lot between the tree and me.  I liked the circular feeling.

Fog in St Mary’s County


St Mary’s City

I went to town early one morning this week and had a chance to photograph the local scenery on route 5 in the fog by cell phone.  Mist creates a whole new ethereal perspective of the world.

Toy poodle: Lots of legs




Still recovering from my broken left foot.  Starting to bear mild weight.  

 Her legs are more interesting than mine.

Toy Poodle




Our sweet toy poodle keeps me company a lot lately.  She sleeps even more since she went blind, but Jim sometimes gets her to play a little. We estimate her age at around 14.

River Concert Series “Prayer For Our Planet” on Youtube from July 10th.

Watch the River Concert Series “Prayer For Our Planet” on Youtube from July 10th.  Jim had 2 videos Henrik Naimark-Meyers and Ballet Caliente dancing to music by Arvo Part.  At one point we were going to use still for the ballet, but then I broke my left foot on Wednesday.  I am so glad they came up with a way to use Jim’s video.  Wonderful show.  Sung hee Park (and her friends) from South Korea has an incredible voice.

Garden flowers


During quarantine, I am not going out to gardens to photograph gorgeous planned gardens.  Many of us are learning to appreciate the simple things life has to offer.  

We are having a flower competition soon in the St. Mary’s County Camera Club, so I photographed some of my garden flowers. Most of our summer flowers are now done blooming.  I thought they were pretty and 3 makes a nice number.
