Spring was a struggle. Normally by March we would be warmer and drier. Not this year. But I manage to get to Southern Prince Georges County, Piscataway Park. It was a bit muddy after the snows. Took theses off the fishing pier.
The Sea Gulls of Laurel Lake – 20140322
So Winter wasn’t giving up so easy this year but at Laurel Lake. The seagulls, the ducks and the geese swam about.
Alter Pond – 20140322
So I was driving around on Soil Conservation Road and seeing what I could find. This is Alter Pond.
In theory we’ve managed to get to spring. As you can see it’s a bit desolate. Winter has quite given up yet.
The Lull before Another Snow Event – 20140316
So it was a cloudy day a lull before another event. The geese were foraging and the wood ducks swimming.
Studies in Black and White around Hanover Parkway Pond
So I was doing an exercise using the camera’s black and white mode. This goose was strolling on the road. Inaminate objects sometimes to have an otherworldly feel when shot in black and white.
The Pond within a Lake – Feb 2014
It was cold, but it wasn’t snowing. So I went to Greenbelt Lake and not many people. But an interesting phenomena formed because of the cold … A pond within the lake. Lots of seagulls, a goose or two, ducks and the big Heron were there. The sun was nice!
And as always you can follow the links to other pictures.
Winter is here at Hanover Parkway Pond – 20140126
So January 2014 was cold in Northern Prince Georges County in the state of Maryland. Ice formed over the pond.
Only Canada Geese and Seagulls seem to brace the pond there were a few cracks.
Winter has come 20140120
So winter had come to the Mid Atlantic region with bursts of snow and cold. But between the bursts I could walk about and snap a few pictures.
These were shot at Greenbelt Lake in Maryland, the birds apparently do better in the cold than I did.
There were other objects that made the lake otherworldly.
The Beginning of the Winter 2014
The Winter of 2014 would prove to be the first real winter we had in this area since the Snowmaggedon events of the 2010 season. Snow can be interesting especially at night.
So as you can see it could look a bit like Narnia
Coming in – 20131215
It was the lull before the many snows we would be getting. The winter sun was relatively warm or at least in felt warm considering the past few weeks before this was taken. The geese were coming in.
