Confusion: Duck Style

 I am in the process of fixing up a new laptop, so I found some photos from last year taken on the way to Leonardtown on Route 5.  Three Ducks decided to cross the road.  Why is it always 3?  It should be simple, but maybe not.  I sat in my car, waiting for them to decide how to cross the road.  Silliness ensued.

It started out okay.  Heading the right direction.

A discussion occurred.  Are you sure this is the right way?


No.  It must be the other way.

I'm not sure I agree.  I think we need to go that way. (This may look like a previous photo, but I checked the numbers to be sure they were in the correct order.  Hmmm)


Now we've got it!

The sunflowers at a nearby farm in St. Marys County were very colorful this year.   More to come!

Two Visits to Newtowne Neck State Park

We visited Newtowne Neck State Park in St. Mary's County twice to enjoy the beach at the end of Newtowne Neck Road in the perfect weather.  First we stayed to the West and then returned to see the Eastern side of the beach.  There are quite a few coves created by rock jetties.  Beautiful!  We didn't exactly have to  fight off the crowds in September.  I've heard it is quite crowded in the summer.
