This plant from the Eastern Shore caught my attention as I was walking past it.  Any idea why? 

The answer is the Oyster shells that were used to top the plant bed.  It’s hardly in the shape that it once was, but this throw back to a once common shore area practice impressed me.

Princess Anne (a town found on the way south to Crisfield on rt. 13) contains one of the oldest, if not the absolute oldest continuously operating Police stations in the state.  Built in 1857, the building has been recently restored and will continue to operate as a full service police station.    The grey stones which lent the building its nickname “Grey Eagle” make up 3 foot thick walls.
