Colorful Sunset from Jan 2nd

There was a recent gorgeous sunset in early January that I particularly liked on my daily walk.  The colors were beautiful.

Wicomico Shores Landing

 I discovered another boat landing, Wicomico Shores, in the northern part of St. Mary's County that has a very long pier.  The first time I went there, the sunset was average, so I went back again later to see if I could add a few clouds to the images.

The little park also has a few picnic tables, a boat launch and a restroom.  It is a very pretty little place for the local community.

Merkle Wildlife Drive in Autumn

We went back to take the wildlife drive from Patuxent River Park to Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary even though the weather wasn't as good as the previous week, since it is only open Sundays 10am-3 pm.

Foggy Day Pier

Just a photo from a foggy day in February from a local pier.  I liked it in black and white and I liked the hazy reflection on the water.  It is kind of peaceful.  This one is from my little Nikon Coolpix.  It fits with my business name, Calm Reflections photography.

Sunset on the Water

Peace

Can’t you just hear the water lapping against the shore?

Sunset on St. Jeromes Creek April 20, 2019

Some lovely cell phone sunset pictures I took Saturday while walking at St. Jerome's Creek, St. Mary's County, MD.  These are both HDR photos (High Dynamic Range) processed on my phone.

Sunset at a private Beach at Playa Del Carmen

Our Airbnb unit came with access to this lovely beach and a small pool.  Unfortunately, we didn't see it till sunset, since we went exploring and got stuck in the heavy traffic.  We couldn't even find a restaurant without a gated community, so we went to a local grocery store for food.

Breton Bay Photo Shoot

I did a real estate photo shoot at in Leonardtown.  The modest house has a nice location on the water with a pier.  Nearby is a small private beach with a pier on Breton Bay, and the Breton Bay golf course has a pool.  It was fun to try to capture good angles using a tripod and flash.  Please share if you know anyone interested.  Barbara at 3660barbara@gmail.com is the contact for the property.

Glowing Snowy Sunset

While dealing with several minor illnesses in the last two weeks, it's been challenging to take any photos at all.  The house windows are coated with bits of snow debris, creating blurry photos, but I occasionally stuck the camera out the door in the late afternoon to catch some interesting light.

It is obvious that these two photos were taken on 2 different days, before and after the snow began to melt.

Fall color in Fredericksburg VA

We spent Sunday in Fredericksburg, hoping to see a few leaves left on the trees after all the recent wind and rain.  In between the nice light for pictures, we went Christmas shopping midday. Here are some highlights of our day.

A lovely tree in the little beach park near the Harry Nice Memorial Bridge.

A little park behind the Wawa at the Central Park mall.  A picturesque oasis.
