On the Water 3
We explored the creek in Jim's boat over on 9/6. I enjoyed stopping to see lots of birds and we visited lots of coves. These were my favorite shots.

Church Point Restoration
This post was so popular on Facebook that I thought I should share it on my blog as well.
Recently, work was completed at Church Point in St. Mary's City, MD to protect the large cross and stop the erosion from reducing the shoreline. Many people both from Trinity Episcopal Church and elsewhere, assisted in reaching this goal. A grant was written, workers hired, politicians, businesses and students helped.
Recently, sea grass was planted there by volunteers, including hundreds of St. Mary's College of MD students.
Church Point is on the property of Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Mary's City, MD and has long been popular for fishing, picnicing and walking.

On the Water 2
Living by the water is a special blessing we never dreamed of having. I keep my camera nearby, never knowing what we might see, ... or what might float by. I suppose if I lived near the forest, my photos would be mostly pictures of deer and birds, although we see those also.
Here are a few of my recent neighborhood photos.

Southern Maryland Boat Club Summer Regatta 8-8-15
Here are my best photos of the 1st Southern Maryland Boat Club Summer Regatta at Leonardtown Wharf in MD on Saturday August 8th, 2015. There were races by antique boats at least 30 years old using the black flag (no awards), from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm. The show also included static antique boat displays and food by Kevin's Corner Kafe. The event was sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association. Many of the drivers won races years ago. Joe Norris was the emcee. To learn more about the club visit http://www.southernmarylandboatclub.com
We displayed Jim's boat in the static displays and quite a few visitors looked it over. It's a nice looking 1985 Centurion ski boat that is still a work in progress.
Please feel free to comment or share something about a boat.

Lotus flowers and exotic water lilies
We visited Kenilworth Aquatic gardens on August 2nd early in the morning, before the heat of the day. The lotus flowers were up to 5-6 feet high, mostly white and pink. There were lots of bugs around including bees, dragonflies and crawly insects. Behind the Visitor's Center, there was also a small exhibit of exotic water lilies in lovely colors.
