Gilbert Run Park

We visited Gilbert Run Park in Charlotte Hall, MD for a walk and to spend some time by the Lake last week.  The walk by the dam berm was easy, but the walk in the woods was quite uneven for us, so we had to turn around.  I enjoyed seeing the geese, the water, and the boats.  We had a nice picnic lunch and Jim enjoyed some ice cream at the concession stand.  I would recommend a visit if you like being outdoors.



Nice bridge to take you around the lake

Squirrels at Home

 Squirrels can be fun to watch.  They can be very busy and move very quickly.  They can be amusing if they can't figure out how to get into your bird feeder too!

Elms Beach State Park

 We visited Elms Beach before the summer crowd.  It was pleasantly cool, a fun place to explore and made a nice peaceful visit with our old dog, Sarita.

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.
