Autumn in Virginia 2

I noticed some pictures from our Virginia trip were missing and found my missing SD card.  Here's some more lovely autumn pictures from Shenandoah.

Autumn in Virginia and PA

We drove up to the Skyline drive last week to do some leaf peeping.  Skies were mostly blue and warm.  The colors were lovely.  Here are my favorites:

Annapolis Power Boat Show

Jim dragged me to the boat show on a chilly windy day.  (Not really, since I could take pictures).  We visited every tent with boat gadgets and spent too much money.  I bought some kewl custom made clipon blue sunglasses after stating earlier that I could only wear contacts with colored sunglasses, so I would never have them.

Interesting sights included a small yellow submersible, a Tesla (a Lamborgini and Ferrari too), a bag pipe marching band  LOTS of boats and a lovely sunset.

Incredible Bald Eagle Pictures

Eagle pictures that thrilled me lately.  I plan to put some of these up for sale.  Some were taken in St.Mary's County and some from Rock Hall, MD.

A Rock Hall MD Photowalk that Wasn't

We went to Rock Hall MD to participate in the Kelby Worldwide Photowalk.  It was cancelled due to miserable weather. We walked around in the rain and took a few pictures.

 It was gray but dry the next day and we got a few better pictures.

The eagles are back!

It doesn't take very long for the bald eagles and great blue herons to visit after the osprey fly south.

This pair of eagles was sharing a meal. They tend to mate for life, just like swans, turtle doves, gibbons, black vultures and wolves, to name a few.
