Annapolis, Maryland

Hello friends!
It's been five days since my last posting and needless to say I have racked up the miles and images since then! I wanted to post a few pics from each day and catch y'all up, but alas, I could only get through a few of the shots from our day trip to Annapolis, Maryland before my energy level went kaput. Trust me when I tell you that I will have lots more to post in the future, including day trips to Nutter's Neck on the Eastern Shore, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Inner City Harbor in Baltimore. Til then, enjoy this short little post while I catch up on much needed sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

The Baltimore to Annapolis Trail

Greetings! I am off on another adventure! Enjoying the Springtime beauty of the East Coast. Yesterday was a most glorious day. The kind of day you want if you are our walking a trail with your camera in tow. Bright blue skies, a golden sun pushing her rays through marshmallow clouds. Dappled light falling lightly across your path. Wildflowers showing off their colors. After trekking the Cumbria Way mostly in rain, this day was one I had been dreaming about and it was a perfect day to explore part of the Baltimore to Annapolis trail.

The air was scented with the sweet perfume of Wisteria. It grew wild everywhere, draping the trees with purple blooms. I plucked some and pressed them into my travel journal. A reminder of this beautiful day.

The challenge for me this time is to shoot without my beloved 18-135mm. It had stopped working during the Cumbria Way and with no time to order a new one, I arrived to Maryland with just a couple of prime lenses. My challenge over the next couple of weeks will be shooting with the 50mm and my wide angle, the 10-20mm. So far, I haven't missed the zoom but I have a feeling I will today when I arrive into DC. I will miss it when I shoot street photography. Hopefully, the 50mm will satisfy me. We shall see...stay tuned!
