Local Seaside Wonder

North Beach, Maryland.  The Chesapeake Bay Bridge first opened in 1952 allowing travelers to access the Atlantic Ocean beaches. Before the bridge opening, people from the Washington, D.C. area would take their weekend retreats (often via train) to the western coast of the Chesapeake Bay and one of the most popular of those was North Beach in Calvert County.  The half-mile long waterfront Boardwalk hosts beautiful coastal homes and shops, restaurants, bakeries and more! 

Here folks stroll along the iconic Boardwalk in North Beach.  Photo taken in Spring, 2018.

I've never met a sunset I didn't like...

East Coast Sunsets, or West Coast Sunsets... which are your favorite? Some of the best sunsets I have ever seen, have been right at my back door, here along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (see my first post).  Southern California certainly offers some of the best money can buy though!  Watching the sun go down either across the Pacific Ocean or over the mountains (or both, as in my photo below) is nothing short of spectacular.  But I must say that I believe the best sunsets are along the Gulf Coast of Florida...  You can just see forever... they are amazing 💖 Venice Beach, California Venice Beach Life Guard Station, California Clearwater Beach, Florida

Mountain View Sunsets...

They call Maryland "America in Miniature" and Garrett County is part of the reason why. Have you ever been to the Mountains of Western Maryland?  It's about a 4 hour drive Northwest of Washington DC.  And the views are spectacular!   Garrett County is a three-season location.  The Fall offers beautiful changes in color.  The Fall Foliage is some of the best on the East Coast.  Winter is a joy, with plenty of snow and ski slopes.  Spring (well, we skip this season )  and Summer ... that is where Deep Creek Lake comes in.  60 miles of shoreline and lots of fun to be had.  boating, skiing, swimming, canoeing, jet-skiing, hiking... I could go on for a while longer, but I think you get the point...   The weather can be temperamental, so plan ahead, but be ready for change! So, after a quick weekend trip to the Deep Creek Lake this past weekend, I came home with this gem of a sunset photo!  Brrrrr it was cold on Saturday!  But it  produced some pretty skies.  Mounta
