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.

We braved the weatherman's dire predictions and went to the Patuxent River Airshow 2018 on Saturday. Did we get lucky! The thunderstorm hit right after the Blue Angels performance toward the end of the show. We saw some favorites like Patty Wagstaff, the Shockwave Jet Truck, The P-51 Mustang and F-4U Corsair and of course the Blues.
Since I wasn't sure if the weather would cooperate for the Air Expo this weekend, I photographed the Blue Angels in California and Lexington Park, MD on Friday afternoon.
I had a colorful bird photo accepted into the Annmarie Garden "Of a Feather, Birds in Art" Exhibit. The macaw photo titled "Pedicure", will be on display and for sale all summer in the main gallery.
This Friday, May 25th, I hope you will consider attending the after hours reception with me and many other artists from 5-8 pm. The receptions are always very nice with light refreshments and live music. They will also announce the winning entries.
Our last poodle was a sweet senior dog when we started to care for her. As she got slower, we knew we would miss her very much when she left us. I started taking more photos of her. I wish we had lots of puppy pictures, but we couldnt go back in time to get them. Pet photography can create memories that you will never forget. You dont want to miss pictures of their puppyhood, their quirky personalities or their life. My goal is to give you lasting memories of your pet and have a little fun at a photo session at the same time!
