Sotterley Eagle Walk

Fellow Camera Club member, Ken Barlow, offered a walk to go see where the eagle nests were at and near Historic Sotterley Plantation.  He taught us about eagles as we walked and of course took lots of photos.  Some of the walkers came from other camera clubs too.  We actually saw an eagle being chased by a crow far in the distance, but I got a better photo of an osprey that was a little closer.  I played with the vases in the window for fun.

Spring Flowers 2 in St. Mary's County 2026

 I spent Saturday driving around looking for some pretty flowers before the expected rain on Easter Sunday.  This year has been fairly windy, but I caught a few flowers at least.

Flowers at the National Arboretum Part 3

There were a lot of flowering trees blooming when we visited, including a large quantity of redbud trees.  Even a weeping redbud!  The azaleas were just barely starting to bloom. (more azaleas later!)

The historical National Capital Columns were being renovated.

Pink Flowers in St Marys County 2025

I wandered around St Mary's County a little to find some pretty Spring flowers.  Most of them were pink.  Can I help it if it's my favorite color!

I liked the combination of shades of red with shades of green

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.
