Fantasy Palms

I am always learning new things about Photoshop.  So, I created a fantasy photo of a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset with a bent palm to enjoy while I am sitting at home dreaming about the vacation I can't take.  I used a photograph from a few years ago and bent the palm tree to look extra dreamy and peaceful.   Hopefully, someday I will be able to photograph something similar. 

Now available on my new Fine Art America site as a canvas, metal, acrylic or wood print, shower curtain, mug, pillow, greeting card, etc.

River Concert Series The Travel Program June 21 2019

 The Travel Program featured music from around the world including South Indian traditional dance by Radha Ganesan.  The dance was very expressive and incredible coordination.  She is a very talented woman.

She was cheerfully introduced by her brother, Dr. Krishna Jayaraman, one of Jim's doctors from Mechanicsville.



 Performing with her were 4 young talented women.

Among the horns on Friday, were the Silberschlag sons, Nathaniel and Zachary, both very talented musicians.

Zach performed a complicated solo at the concert, and received the traditional handshake from his father, Jeffrey Silberschlag.

They played 2 particular favorites of mine at the end, "Moldau" by Smetana and "Tales of the Vienna Woods" by J. Strauss Jr.

Lancaster Dog Park photos added to Dog Services Website


I visited the John G. Lancaster Dog Park again after discovering a website that needed photos of the local dog park.  It is an excellent source of information for people traveling with their dogs and I thought I could help tell the local community that the dog park is available. 

The website www.bringfido.com includes pet friendly accommodations, places to visit with your dog (beaches, hiking trails, tours), shelters, kennels, airlines, and even pet friendly restaurants!  You can see my photos of the John G. Lancaster Dog Park in Lexington Park, MD and maybe even learn some useful dog information if you are traveling with your pet.

The park is very nice, with lots of open space for dogs to run, a little tunnel, safe separate double gate entry for large and small dogs, shade trees and running water.

I've met some very nice pet owners there and some of them have kindly given me permission to share some photos of their dogs on my websites.

Welcome to Calm Reflections Photography

Welcome to my new blog. I'm writing to you from beautiful St. Mary's County, Maryland. I plan to share my photographs, tourist information for St. Mary's County, photography suggestions, places to travel and local businesses in the South County. I love to visit America's National Parks, view nature (especially birds and wildlife) and lovely landscapes. I have been a serious amateur photographer for nearly 30 years and began a photography business in 2009.

My main goal this year is to share photographs on useful products, like mouse pads, mugs, note cards, and canvas. I am constantly learning new things about photography.
