The St. Mary's County Camera Club had a themed contest this month called Wet.  Our dog, Sarita needed a bath.  She is a toy poodle rescue.  It only made sense to combine the two.  The results were adorable and she won first place!


Which one do you like the best?

Southern Maryland Balloon Festival July 14, 2018



Jim and I went to the balloon festival at Jefferson Patterson Park.  There were nice fireworks.  Last year, we at least saw the balloons.  The Festival was rather disappointing for us.  We left a little late, got in a huge traffic jam and spent nearly 2 hours just using the bathroom and getting dinner.  I didn't even get a balloon photo!!!!  The walk-in balloon closed during dinner.  The balloon glow was cancelled because of wind, so they let the visitors play with the gas jets, creating a candlelight effect.
