Everywhere around are masters of what they do. Finding those masters though can sometimes be a bit challenging. It is these masters that we can learn from and with that learning create something better than we would have imagined on our own. There is a master of […]
The western shore of the Chesapeake Bay survived fairly well from Hurricane Sandy with a storm surge of about four feet. However, this was enough to create some flooding in popular areas like the Annapolis waterfront. A Tuesday morning visit to “Ego Alley” and Dock Street gave glimpses […]
Well, that was rather odd. I have a smugmug account, and I went and tried to share my Annapolis album with you via their “Be Social” option. Alas, all it sent over was this one mallard duck enjoying the flood in Annapolis harbor. So just discovered something, If […]

The United States Naval Academy Chapel was built in record time with the corner stone being placed in 1904 and completed on May 28, 1908. It’s hard to imagine that this strikingly beautiful church was built in such a short period of time. As the hallmark of the […]
