A JOURNEY FROM PATAPSCO IN MARYLAND TO ANNAPOLIS
APRIL 4, 1730 – Percy H. Boynton
At length the wintry Horrors disappear,
And April views with Smiles the infant Year;
The grateful Earth from frosty Chains unbound,
Pours out its vernal Treasures all around,
Her Face bedeckt with Grass, with Buds the Trees are crown’d.5.
In this soft Season, ‘ere the Dawn of Day,
I mount my Horse, and lonely take my Way,
From woody Hills that shade Patapsco’s Head
(In whose deep Vales he makes his stony Bed,
From whence he rushes with resistless Force,10.
Tho’ huge rough Rocks retard his rapid Course,)
Down to Annapolis, on that smooth Stream
Which took from fair Anne-Arundel its Name.

The two pups look so cute together like that, beautiful shots 🙂
They were super adorable. I saw them and said “PUPPIES !” They immediately responded and turned for some loving.
Well done, Emily!!!
Thank you so much ! It was a great day for shooting.
Great photos!
You’re so creative, posing the dog on the right in the photo so that it covers a portion of the sign that says “City Dock” in such a way that it looks like the sign says City Dog instead. 😉
Oh my !! I totally didn’t notice that ! I’ve got to check it out. You have such a great attention to detail. Happy New Year’s Day Jerry!
I like the “city dog” sign too, and love how you got down at duck level for the shot from the pier!
I never would have seen it if it hadn’t been for Quiet Solo Pursuits. I think the tourists thought I was crazy laying on the ground, but I didn’t care. 🙂
pretty day but I see that storm front coming 🙂
I bet you getting hit hard right now. It’s just wet snow and not much of it for us so far.
OH but you can make snowmen with so little effort along the coast 15+ inches have fallen and at midnight seawalls will take a beating as well as our beautiful beaches again and again at lunch time tomorrow I hope to be up in Portsmouth running errands and will take the coastal route back south to home if they have not shut the road down. It will be 20 below by then with nasty winds. We are under blizzard warnings now. Thanks for thinking of us. 🙂
A fantastic day, it seams to me:) Wonderful photos, whit nice and clerar colors.
Thanks Kerlund ! I have to admit, I was surprised with the color and clarity of these as well.
