Myrtle Point State Park

We took a walk on the Mill Creek Lane trail at Myrtle Point in St. Marys County, .8 miles roundtrip on uneven ground.  It dead ends near a beach and Red Oak Pond.  There was a short little moderately steep trail at the end.

The pretty beach was my reward.  I even saw a couple of mergansers in the pond.  You be the judge.

Spring Flowers 2022

Spring is my favorite time of year.  Enjoy it while it is here!  I’d like to share some camelias and dogwood.

Spring is All Around

I was stuck after a doctor checkup at the Calvert Hospital parking lot for an hour last week.  What is a photographer to do?  It was Spring and I only had a cell phone.  It kept me busy, walking and out of trouble.  LOL.  Here are the results, edited in Snapseed, a phone app.  I wish my phone had a closeup lens or telephoto.

It’s National Pet Day

My poodle posed for me a few years ago.  She is still cute and sweet.

Blackwater Wildlife Refuge

Just for fun, I played with an old photo from Blackwater that I didn’t remember.  It is cropped and I added some magenta to create a sunset or sunrise look.  It was kind of pretty with the lovely reflection.

Playing with Tulip Still Lifes

I bought a few tulips to photograph since they don’t grow well in our garden.  They are white with light pink edges that was subtle.   I played with window light, curtains and a pink wall.  These are all cell phone photos, edited with Snapseed on my phone.

Photographed in window light with lace in front of the window.


When the petals fell off, I liked the view of the stamens inside.

Sarita Needed Grooming

We were fairly busy lately and weren't paying enough attention.  Sarita, our toy poodle needed grooming, NOW.  She doesn't photograph as well these days, with her sightless eyes and very anxious demeanor, but she means a lot to us, so I photograph her anyway, mostly just cuddled up next to Jim.  I put her in window light, because strange noises from a flash are very scary these days.  She tends to put her head down a lot, so it is sort of challenging.  Here are a few before, middle, and after pictures.
