Early Spring in St. Mary's County March 23, 2025

We took a pleasant ride around the south county to look for flowers.  There were some pretty purple farm fields I haven't photographed before.  We stopped at both St. Mary's Chapel and St. Cecilia Catholic Church.

Azaleas Part 2

We dropped by Annmarie Garden again to photograph the azaleas.  This time I remembered to bring my flash.  I especially like the multicolored ones.  So pretty!












This one was made of 2 photos edited together to make it sharper.

Fortunately, there are some camelias not to far away that I love to photograph.

That poor groundhog must have been confused.  It is Spring here and winter for much of the country.  There are buds everywhere in Southern Maryland.
