Fort McHenry, Baltimore

Linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences  

I appreciate all my blogging friends for their visit and wonderful comments thru-out the year! I wish everyone all the best in 2015, Happy New Year!

The day after Christmas was a beautiful day to be outside. Hubby and I joined up with my hubby's cousin for a walk around Fort McHenry in Baltimore.. It has a nice walkway along the water with view of the Fort which is famous for the Star-Spangled Banner written by Francis Scott Key..

I took some shots of the Fort's canons, the flag, fences and the sky..Oh I can not forget some ducks in the Baltimore Harbor.. Later in the day I took some shots of the waxing crescent moon from my deck..

A couple of Mallard duck, the Baltimore harbor and a view of the neighborhood Canton across the way.

A Double-crested Cormorant flying by.

A view of Fort McHenry, the flag and a fence scene for Tex's Good Fences meme.

A beautiful sunny day, the water glistening along the harbor's walkway..

The Bufflehead ducks seemed plentiful around the harbor..

Another view of the Fort's canons, flag and the fence..

The sky and a pretty tree seen along the harbor's walkway.

A lone male Bufflehead duck floating in the Baltimore harbor.

Continuing on our walk around the fort, another view of the Fort's flag and fence..

More Bufflehead ducks see on the calm water.

Another sky shot for Skywatch Friday, a view of the Francis Scott Key bridge..

Back home a shot of the waxing crescent moon seen from my deck..I hope you enjoyed our walk along the Baltimore Harbor and Fort McHenry..Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments..

Weekend Walk_May 30

Linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences


My post today I sharing some fence scenes from my neighborhood for Tex's Good Fence meme, a bird of course, a couple shots of the sunrise, sunset and the moon for my Skywatch Friday post. I decided everyone needed a break from my vacation photos, so this post is mostly from around my yard and the bike trail.

I have been leaving a little later in the morning and now I am seeing sunrises on my way to work. I like this orange sky and sunrise..

Our weekend walk was along the NCR trail, a local bike, hike and running trail.  There is a pretty cascade falls in one spot we like to stop and admire the view.

This shot above is my perfect find for Tex's Good Fence post.  A view of the fence, trail and the cascading river.

In my mosaic is the cascade, another fence with a sign warning people about Copperhead snakes and some river scenes.

This shot looks better if you click for  a larger size.. Along the trail there is a private house where all these cute gnomes live.. Some gnomes have to stay behind the fence..

 Heading back to the car, I saw a family of Carolina Wrens playing around, they were hopping from branch to branch, it was difficult to get one clear shot.  I heard a lot of other birds along the trail they were just camera shy.

A sunset from my deck, a little color here and there. The sky was still pretty.

My moon shot taken June 3, 2014 is the pretty Waxing Crescent.




While watching the sky and moon I was standing on my deck listening to the sounds of the Great Blue Heron in the tree tops near my neighbors house.  They can get pretty loud, but this sounds reminds me of trains on the track..or a dog breathing real loud.   I hope you enjoyed my post..
