 A Blue Morpho hides the color inside.  It is not actually blue.  The color it reflects looks blue.

Does anyone know what this one is?

Frederick Maryland Art May 3, 3019

 Trump L'oeil art, optical illusion.  The painting actually looked like this

 until you looked at it from the side!

 Which is real and which is art?  There was a bridge, a wall and a support wall.  and a FLAT mallard duck and a painting of a bird bath

 No gate here, or real ivy

 Lovely canal

Returning to my vacation from the spring, Catoctin Mountain Park had quite a few curves

Photos of the River Concert Tributary Series concert with José Cueto (violin), Nancy Roldán (piano), Heather Haughn (violin), Jim Kelly (viola) and Barbara Brown (violincello) on July 20, 2019.  They played Argentinian music by Piazzolla, Guastavino and Ginastera at St. Mary's Hall at St. Mary's College or Maryland.  Some of the music showed off the many ways to play stringed instruments and the last piece "Allegro Tangábile" was particularly difficult and exciting.

  Please share with your friends.

The last River Concert of the season featured Pedro Giraudo, 2018 Latin Grammy Award Winner and his musicians from New York City, Rodolfo Zanetti on bandoneón and Ahmed Alom on electric piano.  They played quite a few Argentinian and Tango pieces with Chesapeake Orchestra's talented violinist, Jose Cuéto.  They were a very talented group, playing along with our favorite Chesapeake Orchestra.
