Autumn in St. Mary's Part 2-2022

Some more Fall photos with pretty reflections near Hollywood.  I was pleased to see a red canoe paddle by when the light was interesting in the afternoon. 

Happy Thanksgiving

Enjoy your holiday!

Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis

We drove to Annapolis for a doctor appointment and spent some time at Quiet Waters Park afterwards.  The dog park looks like it has been fixed up quite a bit with an overlook and two gazebos on the bluff.

Autumn in St. Mary's Part 1-2022

With this crazy warm weather, I was able to take some fun local Fall photos.  I was trying to find places near water for Autumn reflections, country back roads (challenging since most places are paved now) and pretty leaves.

St. Mary's River State Park in Autumn

I visited the park to view the autumn foliage and walked a mile roundtrip on the uneven ground on the hiking trail.  For someone with a foot injury, this was a little challenging, but doable if I kept my head down to avoid tripping on a branch.  I met a lady with a friendly dog along the way.  I photographed her dog, but he got very close, very quickly hoping to say hello.

A very friendly dog, who didn't want to leave the park.

Merkle Wildlife Drive in Autumn

We went back to take the wildlife drive from Patuxent River Park to Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary even though the weather wasn't as good as the previous week, since it is only open Sundays 10am-3 pm.
