Christmas Lights 2021

We took a lovely drive this week to see the decorations made by our St. Mary's County neighbors in 2021. Here is a sampling of the ones I liked the most in the south part of the County

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and your family! Wishing you good health and happiness.

This photo was taken around 2014 at Longwood Gardens before they totally renovated the fountain area.

We sat out on the patio deck and watched the spectacular show enfold. There were many colors, a photographer’s delight. If I remember right, it was set to music and well choreographed.

Bald Eagles were Visiting

When a pair of bald eagles came to visit, they separated and one sat on the post while the other used the osprey nest. To try to turn the photo into one subject, I waited till they were looking at each other, or at least showed some animation.

Oops, careful there. Don’t fall off!

That’s better.

Pelicans in St.Mary’s County

Just to be different, we visited Piney Point Lighthouse to see the pelicans. They are fairly far away. We visited the beach and saw the lighthouse outside too. After 2 visits, I finally managed to get one fairly decent photo with blurry wingtips. They were fun to watch since I haven’t seen any in a long time.
