A Visit to Quiet Waters Park, Annapolis, MD

We visited Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis to get together with my sister and her husband.  It is part way between us both and a fun place to visit.  We had a pleasant picnic under the trees overlooking the little lake with a gazebo and bridge and the weather was a perfect Spring temperature, even though a storm loomed in the distance.They brought their dog, Brutus (black), so we just had to visit the unusual dog beach in the park.   Brutus wasn't too impressed, but we met another dog, Parker (curly haired tan dog) who was having his birthday party there.

We were in Annapolis for a doctor visit, so we stopped by Quiet Waters Park to see the beautiful trees afterwards.

Visit to Sunrise Garden in North Beach, MD

We visited the Sunrise garden by the boardwalk in North Beach, hoping that it would be prettier in Spring than in Summer.  It is actually nicer in summer.  It is an art garden, complete with creative sculptures made of recycled materials like driftwood and metal parts.  We saw some mallards, lots of koi in the water, yellow flag iris, a small dianthus grouping, along with the pretty little waterfalls.  I was surprised to see water lilies this early in the season.

Gilbert Run Park

We visited Gilbert Run Park in Charlotte Hall, MD for a walk and to spend some time by the Lake last week.  The walk by the dam berm was easy, but the walk in the woods was quite uneven for us, so we had to turn around.  I enjoyed seeing the geese, the water, and the boats.  We had a nice picnic lunch and Jim enjoyed some ice cream at the concession stand.  I would recommend a visit if you like being outdoors.

Nice bridge to take you around the lake
