A Visit to Lusby, MD in Calvert County

We planned a trip to see a few places near Lusby, MD.  The first stop was Cove Point Lighthouse, open 2 days a week on September afternoons.  The beach is not accessible and sunset photos are only possible for nearby locals or people who rent the Keeper’s House.

Scott Kelby's Worldwide PhotoWalk at Flag Ponds

On October 13^th, we participated in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide PhotoWalk at Flag Ponds in Lusby, MD. Thirty three people signed up to participate on a pleasant sunny day.  Participants were encouraged to submit one photo to the world contest and 13 people shared a photo.  I wasn’t too impressed by my pictures that day, but Jim and I each submitted a photo. Jim worked especially hard on his panorama made of 12 images of one of the ponds and we practiced proper Photoshop techniques with my photo.  Imagine our surprise to learn that Jim received the winning photo for our walk.  It was just amazing, since just holding a camera can be difficult and challenging for him.  We were both thrilled.
