Crossing Fleet

This man was standing in the street trying to cross. I waited until a vehicle I liked passed him. The white side of the fan provided nice contrast and highlighted him very well.

George In Fog

Tilghman Island, MD
Five years ago we installed three Osprey platforms in the cove on which we live. This is the fourth year for the same couple who arrive in mid-March, breed and raise their young before separating and flying to southern points unknown to us. The male arrives a few days before the female and readies the best for his mate’s arrival. I name them after a different tv sitcom each year. For example, last year they were the Barones from “Everybody Loves Raymond”. This year they’re  “The Jetsons”.

 

Here we have George Jetson who arrived on a rainy and foggy March 21, 2022. Jane arrived three days later and is now nesting on her eggs. We look forward to the arrival of Judy and Elroy.

Geometry At 4am

I was having difficulty sleeping so my husband and I went out for a shoot. Well, he drove and I hopped out along the way to take shots. There was a lot of mist in the air which made shapes much more dramatic against the black sky. I took this at 4am in the Harbor East area of Baltimore.

Not Modern

My husband and I were in the real estate business for many years. We had rental properties and renovated and sold others. I took this photo while on a tour of a place that was for sale.

Plumbers Truck

I took this one sunny morning in Tilghman, Maryland. I got a kick out of the display of toilets that had been removed from customers’ homes. I guess it’s good advertising for the plumber.
