River Concert Series “Prayer For Our Planet” on Youtube from July 10th.

Watch the River Concert Series “Prayer For Our Planet” on Youtube from July 10th.  Jim had 2 videos Henrik Naimark-Meyers and Ballet Caliente dancing to music by Arvo Part.  At one point we were going to use still for the ballet, but then I broke my left foot on Wednesday.  I am so glad they came up with a way to use Jim’s video.  Wonderful show.  Sung hee Park (and her friends) from South Korea has an incredible voice.

Garden flowers


During quarantine, I am not going out to gardens to photograph gorgeous planned gardens.  Many of us are learning to appreciate the simple things life has to offer.  

We are having a flower competition soon in the St. Mary’s County Camera Club, so I photographed some of my garden flowers. Most of our summer flowers are now done blooming.  I thought they were pretty and 3 makes a nice number.
