Blue Heron on Far Bank

Heron on Far Bank - Pikesville, MDDruid Ridge Cemetery in Pikesville is a nice place to visit on a sunny Sunday morning - well, not the dead people's part, but the large duck pond on the edge of the grounds.

The pond has a large permanent population of various kinds of ducks and geese. Like much of the mid-Atlantic, formerly migratory Canada geese have made a permanent home here.

If you get here early enough, you may luck out and spot a blue heron who also makes his home here.

This place is only about a half-mile from my mom's place, so I've been bringing my camera whenever I go to see her, in case I have a few minutes to stop and see my feathered friends.

The heron is nicely illuminated here, and the foreground gives the shot an impressionistic feel.

BTW, Steve, I haven't forgotten about sending you the gear. I've been hideously busy lately and I have not had a chance to put the stuff together yet.

Thanks, Warren.

About the gear - no problemo! Whenever it arrives is fine - it'll be when I don't expect it and brighten up my day ;-)

Interesting observation: I find this composition strangely uncomfortable. I'm not sure why :).

Elvis Sighted In Maryland!

Elvis!I saw and heard him myself! In Pikesville, no less.

Tom Connelly, aka The Elvis Man, is a pretty convincing Elvis. Along with The Fabulous Hubcaps, he was one of the acts this past Sunday at the Dancing in the Street event in Pikesville. In addition to great live music, there was an impressive display of vintage cars and various food and services booths. Sandy and I each had a foot reflexology treatment - pretty nice!
