FLORIDA oh FLORIDA - PELICANS RULE!!

Pelicans have to be one of my favorite all time sea birds.  Those eyes, feathers, beak, personality.....

WHOLEFOODS, ANNAPOLIS - getting into the spirit of the season

RED CRANBERRIES, RED TULIPS, RED POINTSETTIAS, RED DRIED CHILLIES, RED POMEGRANATES

Fall colors - one of my favorite times of year

Most of the really spectacular vivid colors come from the Japanese Maples dotted around my garden, the vivid oranges and reds.  The bright yellow in the woods are Tulip Poplar and Sassafras trees.  The colors in these photos have not been enhanced or changed, the skies are really that blue and the red leaves glow in the afternoon sun - an exquisite display of nature.

Goodbye to the bright summer garden, oh you bloomed and blossomed for me!
