Leonardtown Fun Photo Walk

The St. Mary's County Camera Club got together to photograph Leonardtown recently at 7 pm. The sky was quite gray and the light wasn't too interesting, but it wasn't raining and we had fun. Here are the best shots.

Westmoreland State Park

We recently spent a few hours in the Northern Neck of Virginia to pick up some special wood. We stopped to enjoy lunch and the view on a beautiful day at Westmoreland. I loved the crescent shaped beaches facing the cliffs. I spotted a great blue heron close to the cliffs.

Botanical Garden Flowers

We photographed some beautiful flowers and scenery at the Lewis Ginter botanical garden in Richmond,VA. They have an amazing orchid collection with many colors, the largest collection of carnivorous plants I've ever seen and some lovely landscapes.
