This was taken just as summer of ’19 was turning into fall at Eastern Neck Island. When I gave a 7 inch square of of the photo to the Small Works show at Queen Anne’s Centre for the Arts, I had simply titled it Butterfly. They remarked how wonderful the thistles and the butterfly looked together. Now I think of it as “Butterfly in the Thistles”.

2015 was one one of the coldest winters on the Delmarva in recent memory. It was nearly zero during President’s Day Weekend when I ventured out in the cold to capture some icy memories. I was in Wilmer Park in Chestertown when I saw this sign. I had seen it many times before, but never noticed that it read “No Ice Skating”.

Before court activities moved to the new Court House for Queen Anne’s County in Centreville, this Court House was the oldest still in service. It also was in the Ragged Old Flag Super Bowl Commercial. This is from the Spring of 2016, not all that much before it was filmed for that commercial. This is simply “Court House in Spring”

The Eastern Shore and the Chesapeake Bay has a love affair with “Sailboats”

Capturing natural reflections is not something that look for, but when I find them I try to capture the beauty. This one of Morgan Creek, outside of Chestertown, I believe was the first. I call this “Reflective Creek”

And here is another reflection taken during Downrigging weekend in Chestertown in 2018. The day before it had rained and even most of the day when this was taken. Earlier in the week, I had captured a similar shot. This one was much better. “Lights on the River”

I have had the opportunity to capture quite a few sunsets. Enough to have a Greeting Card set at Chesapeake Country Roads – Cards and a Calendar. This is my favorite, “Harbor Sunset”.

I I think of this more as an artistic work than a sunset, although it was also in the Sunset Calendar. Hebe is the goddess that sits atop of the Fountain in Chestertown. This was taken during a Music in the Park concert. Most of the audience was sitting in a way that they probably didn’t see the clouds as the sun set that evening. Sometimes I call it Hebe Sunset, but also “Hebe and the Golden Clouds”

Icy Hebe – November 11, 2017 was one of those mornings that the temperature dropped below freezing unexpectedly. Usually the fountain in Chestertown is turned off before the first freeze, it wasn’t and the fountain water froze giving us a very unusual and amazing show. It was by pure accident I was able to shoot this photo. I had a morning commitment and as I was returning home that early afternoon something told me that I should go the Fountain Park. This was the sight that I saw.

This is one of those that has been in a previous Gallery Shows. Once upon a time the Town of Rock Hall as well as other Chesapeake Town’s economies were from harvesting the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. At the end of the day’s work on the water their boats are at the dock. While there are still watermen in Rock Hall, with workboats still in use, it’s a life that is disappearing. “The Day is Done”

Flags are a favorite of mine to photograph. This flag flies on the Sultana in Chestertown and I just think of it as “Flying Freedom:

And in closing, something a little different. This is an example of an Artistic Portraiture. I call this “Girl in Thought”.
