Lineboro, Maryland - January 20, 2008

I took these photographs around Lineboro, MD.

I was trying to find out the history of this town online. The only facts I could find was that the town was named for its location on the Mason Dixon Line and the volunteer fire department hosts something called "Bedlam in the Boro" every year around Halloween. It's also the home of Twin Springs Farm.

January 10, 2008
I didn't have my camera with me so I had to use my cell phone. The quality isn't so great, yet I thought this was a shot I needed to get. I didn't get to close after I saw what I saw.

I was cutting behind the Walmart / Sams Club parking lot in Ownings Mill, MD. I noticed these huge birds swarming at the dumpsters behind the building. I drove over to see what they were. There were over a dozen vultures having lunch. I never saw so many vultures in my life, especially out in the wild.

It's hard to believe that it was in the 70's today.

Fort Garrison - Stevenson, MD

I've passed the sign to the fort a zillion time. Today I figured I'd go down the road to see it. It just seemed strange that it's on a suburban street next to some nice homes. I expected a fort to be in the middle of no where on top of a hill.

Not So Pretty - December 24, 2007

It was one of the first sunny days where I had time to go out and take pictures. I was in the middle of no where when I pulled over to take some shots. Once I was done I looked up and noticed a car going by. In it was an angry parent looking forward holding the steering wheel with one had and smacking his kid with the other in the back seat.

Then as I went along I notices some huge birds coming out of the sky. They were vultures coming down to eat a deer that looks like it died in a car accident... After that I went my safe little pond. Figured I'd find some beauty there.

The following pictures were taken in honor of a friend who's going through chemotherapy. It was a picture perfect day. We had a snow storm yesterday and today the sun was shining brightly. My friend is a photographer who I know would have gone out today if he was able. I went out for him.
