Here’s a sign across from the metro station (seen on yesterday’s post), just in front of the hospital.  This shot was taken on Brodway, for those who were wondering.

I finally got a chance to ride the Baltimore metro.  They will not permit you to take photos of its stations or trains, so this is all I have to offer right now.  I seriously angered one of the station attendants when I had my camera out in a station.  
Aside from that I had a good […]

Ok last horse picture.   Just thought I’d post something less somber after yesterday’s picture. 
Actually I had plans for this day’s post, but when I took a trip to go photograph a pretty cool historic site I had heard about in Rockville, I got there and realized that I had left the memory card out of my […]

Inside Brookside Gardens (discussed last week) is a memorial to the victims of the “DC Sniper” attacks from 2003.

Any guesses?    This was a picture from Saturday.  Kind of a hazy day after a rainy Fourth of July.

Next to Wheaton Regional Park (future post) in Montgomery County is Brookside Gardens.  While its not the largest botanical garden around, the grounds are well landscaped and the collection is very well kept.  The gardens feature many different plants, a butterfly conservatory, a tea pagoda, an even a memorial.  Most importantly the gardens feature this guy: […]

Well tomorrow is Independence Day so here is a flag to get you started.    This flag sits in Federal Hill Park in Baltimore.  It is the same scale as, and contains the same 15 stars (see the flag unfurled below) as the flag that flew over Ft. McHenry when FSK wrote the Star Spangled Banner. 
I searched pretty […]
