Capturing the year one day at a time.
It was a day busy with everyday to-do’s, but a short visit to the waters on a beautiful spring day made the afternoon. With blustery winds, and chop on the water, this Maryland watermen were busy setting out their crab traps for the weekend. It’s coming up to […]
