Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #159: Postcards

Postcards make us remember where we’ve been but also where we’d like to visit one more time!

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #154: One Photo Two Ways

With a fabulous jump-start from Tina, this week’s photo challenge is a double take, in a sense. It asks us to share one photo that can be seen in two different ways. Although we’re novice photographers, we’ve found six simple maneuvers that show the same subject but in different ways using photos from a recent […]

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #152: Shades and Shadows

All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow. Leo Tolstoy Launching the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week is Ann Christine inviting us to share shades and shadows. With two trips under our belts this year, we’re finding shadows that we didn’t even remember as we review our photos and note them […]

Sweet Find: John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church — Road Trip 2020

One thing you hope you’ll find on any road trip is something unexpected. So, imagine us driving along Maryland Hwy. 333 outside Oxford, MD on our way to Assateague, VA and finding this little collection of white buildings.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #122: The Sun Will Come Up Tomorrow

This has probably been the year that many of us have asked ourselves this question: What more can happen?

But through it all, the sun […]

Although we left St. Michaels, Maryland, reluctantly, we knew we wanted to see Oxford one more time — and stay again at The Robert Morris Inn. But what route to take? You can drive from St. Michaels along Hwy. 33 through Easton and enjoy the scenery to Oxford, or you can take the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry. […]

Houses (plus one!) of St. Michaels — Road Trip 2020

For those following our blog, you already know that we love houses. We’ve even been known to drive leisurely through towns, down side streets and back roads just to get a glimpse of how and where people live . . . as we showed you in our posts on Georgetown, SC and Annapolis, MD. So, […]

Destination reached: St. Michaels, MD — Road Trip 2020

Perhaps your GPS talks like ours does: “You have arrived at your destination. Your route guidance is finished.” And when “she” told us we had arrived (for only the second time in our lives) at our chosen spot — St. Michaels, Maryland — we were glad we had braved the pandemic to spend a few […]
