Forest Landing and Vicinity

I like photographing the pretty leaves near Forest Landing in the Autumn.  Its a peaceful place popular with canoes, kayaks, boaters and fishermen.  I also photographed a small lake nearby.

Hollywood Volunteer Fire Dept Fall Craft Show

I will once again be a vendor at the HVFD Fall Craft Show on Sunday November 23, 2025 from 10-3, sharing my photo crafts like cards, prints, clocks and coasters.

Come visit and support me.  I've only be doing one craft fair a year since Covid.  Everything is homemade at the Show, and you would be supporting small businesses.  (I was hoping to find a new flyer, but couldn't find one, so I just fixed the date on last year's flyer.)





Gilbert Run Park

We went to Gilbert Run Park for the fall colors on my birthday, mostly because I was afraid it would be one of the last nice days with leaves left on the trees.  I didn't know Jim invited some friends at the last minute.  Here are photos of the park I took of the trees, hybrid geese, canoes and some lovely birthday flowers from friends in didn't expect.

Three Notch Trail

There is a St Mary's Parks and Recreation Fall Photo Contest, so I decided to vist Three Notch Trail again.  I didn't find it too interesting last time as far as scenery goes, but they have added a few things, and it was prettier than I expected in the Fall.  The Trail was originally an old railroad track route that was abandoned, so the county thought it would make a nice trail.  It is popular with runners, bicyclists and the Amish, especially in the northern part of the county.  I visited sections near the John V. Baggett Park, where I had never been and near the Charlotte Hall Library entrance.  The first 3 were images I sent to the County.

Scarecrow Stroll in Leonardtown 2025

 On the recommendation of a friend, I drove to Leonardtown to photograph the scarecrow competition in Leonardtown.  There are some very creative folks around here.

Love that Hair!
