Autumn in St. Mary's Part 2-2022

Some more Fall photos with pretty reflections near Hollywood.  I was pleased to see a red canoe paddle by when the light was interesting in the afternoon.

Autumn in St. Mary's Part 1-2022

With this crazy warm weather, I was able to take some fun local Fall photos.  I was trying to find places near water for Autumn reflections, country back roads (challenging since most places are paved now) and pretty leaves.

St. Mary's River State Park in Autumn

I visited the park to view the autumn foliage and walked a mile roundtrip on the uneven ground on the hiking trail.  For someone with a foot injury, this was a little challenging, but doable if I kept my head down to avoid tripping on a branch.  I met a lady with a friendly dog along the way.  I photographed her dog, but he got very close, very quickly hoping to say hello.

A very friendly dog, who didn't want to leave the park.

Merkle Wildlife Drive in Autumn
