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!

St Cecilia Catholic Church Gardens

I drove into the parking lot of St. Cecilia Catholic Church looking for a few trees with Autumn leaves still attached in late November.  I was surprised to find quite a few flowers blooming and a beautiful red maple.
