Hiking through the countryside of Maryland with the Mountain Club of Maryland. Additional trips include Shenandoah, and Peru.
Please bear with me this week as some guests from Colorado arrived today. A mandatory first day eating stop is at a well-known secret. Jimmy Cantlers Riverside Inn outside of Annapolis is a waterfront Maryland Crab House. A family run crabhouse for the past forty years has been […]
A maritime good will ambassador was born in Baltimore Harbor in 1977. The Baltimore Clipper ship named the Pride of Baltimore was an authentic replica of original Baltimore Clipper ships that was used during the War of 1812. Well revered by sailors, this fast clipper was a popular […]
So a photo is due for yesterday and admittedly, the one I quickly took was…bleech ! It was one of those times that the idea is sound, but the image doesn’t come out with what the eye sees. But today’s adventure more than made up for with amazing […]
Most times when I am out and about, the time of day isn’t conducive for good light for photography. Regardless, that doesn’t stop me from capturing images that I want to remember. During yesterday’s Birding Blitz I came across this barn. The sky was hazy and the sun […]
Four county parks, over 50 species of birds, 500+ photos, 37 keepers, 2 ‘gallery’ shots. What an amazing day! It is a process of discovery. It’s being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, […]
The rain storm that came to Maryland this week has brought the long delayed migrating birds. Tomorrow is set for a birding blitz, and I hope I can get some sleep tonight. It’s like someone dusted magical fairy bird dust along the land and the place is exploding […]
Spring migration is slow this year in Maryland, but it hasn’t stopped me to keep trying to keep adding to the list for my Big Year. Those who have been following me for a while have probably wondered why all of sudden tons of birds have appeared. Well, […]
A walk through the forest and marsh where the trail leads to the lily pond. Turtles basking in the sun, birds singing their song. A beautiful spring day in earth’s majestic beauty. iPhone 4S edited in Instagram.
Finally having a chance to catch up on some spring migration birding, I headed down to new-to-me natural area in Harwood, Maryland. Wooten’s Landing offers a natural marshland area that is lesser known. A perfect resting stop for migrating warblers and other birds heading north for the summer. […]
The most up I’ve ever done in my life is climbing up the Andes mountains for two days to reach the Dead Woman’s Pass on the Inca Trail. I’ll never forget the experience and sometimes forget just hard it really was.
