It was a beautiful, cool, breezy day today, so I decided to drive some of our rural roads to check on sites for the photo contest I coordinating for the Rural Roads Program of Frederick County. I love exploring the back roads, and even if I don't have my GPS, they always connect to somewhere that I recognize, so I have no fear of getting lost.Unfortunately, the gravel roads are so narrow that it is not really a good idea to take my walks along them, and it is hard to find a place to park.
Anyway, I ended up in Mt. Airy again today, and I found Watkins Park, so that's where I took my walk. It has a playground, ball fields, a skateboarding area, and walking paths. The park borders a school, and at 3:00 I heard the principal on the loudspeakers doing the afternoon announcements, which really brought back memories, because that was one of my jobs at school. I took a few detail shots and decided to turn them all into black and white. There is a freeze warning for tonight, so the honeysuckle may be gone tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning I will be bundled up for the Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk. There will be 1300 walks conducted around the world. I am participating in a small one in Sharpsburg, where Antietam Battlefield is located. I look forward to meeting new people and other photo walkers.
