Squirrels at Home

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.

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.
