September 11, 2014 to September 14, 2014 ~ Shady Side, MD

A restorative, much appreciated weekend with Faith and Bob...thank you so much

- lovely home with natural light and generous windows and porches and great old trees filtering the sunlight...

- the beautiful bay and the constant and ever-changing play of sun and wind, with sailboats and the Bay Bridge in the distance...

Bob and Faith's dock on the Chesapeake

- resident birds: an Osprey, Laughing Gulls, a Great Blue Heron, a Bald Eagle..

- delicious blue crab soup at a local diner..

- a quick trip to the Muddy Creek Art show followed by dinner at Skipper's with mussels and shrimp, watching the sun settle in the west...

- finally getting to see Twenty Feet from Stardom..

- a motorboat ride over choppy waters late Saturday afternoon, dodging crab pots all the way...

Tom, Captain Bob and Faith

- good food, of course...always good food at the Os..

-hiking the Smithsonian property Sunday afternoon with Faith while Bob crewed in a sailboat race, the boat being a Cheapeake 20...

Work clothes - Smithsonian property near the Rhode River, MD

- watching the first of Ken Burns' Roosevelt documentary...

- meeting a fellow birder, their friend Tom S., who just became the president of the Maryland Ornithological Society..
