Annmarie Garden in Lights 2023

We visited Annmarie Garden in Lights in Solomons, MD last week.  The outdoor lights were spectacular on the 1/4 mile walk.  It seemed longer, because I was like a kid in a candy store with my photographs of the gardens.  I brought a tripod which was totally essential and tried to stay out of the way as much as possible.  A few people were even willing to pose for a photo for me.  The exhibits inside were also open and I will share them separately.  I had to visit the inside to see my photo called "Romantic Couple" on the wall in the "Warm and Cozy Exhibit".

Autumn in St. Mary's County 2

I wandered around the south part of the county a few days.  Here are the best images.

Thomas Point Park in Annapolis

We visited Thomas Point Park in Annapolis after a doctor visit, since I had never seen the Thomas Point Lighthouse.  I knew it would be a good distance away, so I brought my very longest lens, up to 600mm and still had to crop the photo alot.  The fall foliage was looking good and there was a cute dinosaur statue in the woods by the side of the road.  The day was mostly cloudy, so I spent most of the time waiting for the fog to get interesting and the sun to show itself.

The park was named after Philip Thomas, an English merchant who owned the nearby land in the mid 1600s.  It is popular for fishing, biking, walking, birding and picnicing.  The park is so small that you must make an advance reservation with a fee to visit except during the colder months.  There is hardly any parking.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish you a warm and happy Thanksgiving!  (This is one of the card images in my new Holiday Card set for Thanksgiving.  The other photo is a white turkey)

Autumn in St. Mary's County

Here's a few miscellaneous Autumn photos from nearby photographed recently.

Quiet Waters Park in Autumn 2023

We were in Annapolis for a doctor visit, so we stopped by Quiet Waters Park to see the beautiful trees afterwards.
