20 April 2026 Baltimore: Another Day Another City

 


We had a quick breakfast and when Dave came home from shuttling Fin we took a walk down by the water.  


Bluebird peeking out


Siom snake art from Fritz the Artist


Oh no the turtle is upside down, may day may day!


Bever mitigation


Cormorant


Nice woods populated with nice homes


Up on the pole a new home


For an osprey




Some of them have winches to bring stuff up from water level


A nice walk indeed


This old town, he be green...


This old bird, he be red


Monkey face chewed out by the bever


Timber!


Blooms everywhere


Back at the house


On the road

19 March 2026 Annapolis: John Dave and Fin

 


After some back and forth with the AirBnB host, we jumped into John and Dave's jeep and headed over to Annapolis.  First we picked up Fin and hit Buddy's, a seafood and ribs place for lunch.  We took a drive through the capital of Maryland and see the Naval Academy.  We circled back to the house for the pool BBQ and then our own fantastic dinner. Too many conversations and stories to get any pictures!


A lovely house


With flowers everywhere


Wonderful

A bit of Annapolis


The big 250!


A bit rainy


The state capital


A boathouse?


Bird city!


Buddy's is ready to serve massive quantities of crabs


Paper on the top pf the table 


Who ordered the shrimp?  The waitress mixed up the order


Lots of memorabilia 


Cadets


The capital dome


More cadets


Salute!


An anchor knocker


Three legged pig!


Masks


A most elaborate closet, we are in envy


Nice African prints


Tanzania


Fish fishy


Tiny shrimps


And neons


A life bird for me!  A surprise white throated sparrow 


We head over to the pool area to drop Finn off for tennis lessons


But instead there is a BBQ!


There is so much water everywhere


The neighbors have a tree house


So much is in bloom


So pretty
