Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

Welcome to Perdue stadium, home of the Delmarva Shorebirds.   Last week’s mystery baseball picture came from inside the stadium, where the Orioles Middle A affiliate shorebirds play.   The stadium is located in Salisbury so it’s no surprise the sponsor would be Perdue.

The atmosphere in the stadium is friendly and inviting.  You get the feeling that half the people in there know each other because they’ve been attending games together for a while.  MDP got front row seats behind home for the price of just $12.   Overall it’s just a good, fun, time.

How many of these does he have?   Another one?  Come on.

Well, yesterday’s photo reminded me of this cart from the Queponco rail station.  I might have one more.

This MLK weekend the beaches in Ocean City were clear of all but the birds.

This is the gatehouse for the river crossing just above yesterday’s picture.  I just liked the white building in a colorless day.  I also enjoy those lamp posts. (as regular readers may know)

Here’s a winter shot of the Pocomoke river on the Eastern shore.  The river begins in Delaware, just above Willards MD and runs south-west through until it hits the bay just south of Crisfield.  For a brief distance, the river even defines the border of MD and VA.

Though it starts as swampland in Delaware, it quickly gains considerable size and depth,  which  make it navigable from the bay until just a little north of Snow Hill.  It was this river passage to the bay and lands south that turned Snow Hill as well as many other communities into towns.

Dunes from Assateague Island.  With the rain we’ve been getting lately, I thought that a quiet beach scene from just before a rainstorm would be nice.

Here’s another perspective on the sunset from Monday’s post.   Have a good weekend.

This is the 9/11 firefighters memorial in Ocean City.

Last year I might have gone overboard with the pictures from Assateague.  However, it’s a fun place to visit, and being on the eastern shore recently, it seemed a good idea to return.  Unlike last year’s visit when you couldn’t sneeze without a pony looking at you, this time around they were few and far between.  I was glad not to run back into the snake from last year, but I did feel a little diappointed at the lack of ponies.  Of course in 100 degree weather, you can’t blame them for staying hidden in the shade.  Seeing them or not seeing them is a chance that a visitor takes.   Luckily, this guy decided to brave the heat and stand idly in the middle of a parking lot where he abligingly posed for this glamour shot.
