Full moon over Annapolis

So we are sitting at dinner and hubby says he will tape one of his favorite shows ( Hell's Kitchen) and go to bed early. Then he starts thinking about how we were talking about going to Annapolis to see where the full moon would be, tells me to look up the time for the moonrise. And now its about 11pm he is in the shower and I am just getting ready for bed, I think it was worth it. Good night moon.

My lazy Sunday

Sunday started out with nothing to do, first church, then lunch with friends,to the Aquatic gardens to shoot waterlillies,Hubby wanted peaches so to Thurmont for white peaches. They had pies in the oven so while waiting for the pies I went out to photograph their gardens. Then hubby wanted Getttysburg PA pictures with the wonderful clouds, and it just seemed right to wait and shoot sundown. And finished off the day eating the pie while sitting in the car(not the whole thing)

While standing in a field of sunflowers surrounded by bees,dragonflies and grasshoppers I was reminded of all the beautiful gardens we have to enjoy in this area. Here are some samples

Merkle Wildlife

Brookside Gardens Weaton Md

Aquatic Gardens DC

Isn't DC wonderful?

Just a little country store in Boonesboro MD we came across while camping.

I was at a party on the 4th and had been thinking about going to the mall but was intimidated by the traffic and the crowds. My wonderful hubby knew its what I really wanted to do, so at 7:30pm we left Bowie to go down town. I was thinking this is crazy and I want to go home. He somehow found a parking (legal) space a half block from the mall off of Independence Ave around 12th St. We didn't have to fight the crowds on the Mall, we just stayed on Independence. And were home by 10:30pm, it was wonderful. I never would have gone if not for him pushing me, Thanks Honey

This is the picture I entered in the Sunday Source contest.

This was taken on the first day of summer, I was going to enter it in the Washington Post Sunday source contest but walking back to the car I saw a man selling crabs with some interesting tatoos and stopped and talked to him and liked the pattern of the tatoos against the crabs and enter that shot instead, ( it didn't win)
