A big thank you to my 12/11 #FineArtAmerica client from Dunmore, PA for their purchase of a greeting card as well as a 500 piece puzzle of "Monday Monday" ... a scene I photographed at Pirates Cove, West River, Maryland in 2012. I hope you enjoy!!!

On Friday my spouse finished up this quilt that was made by her grandmother.

Her grandmother made the exterior, leaving it in a box of craft supplies when she downsized to a smaller apartment. My spouse hired someone at the quilt store in #Annapolis #Maryland to do the stitching on a longarm, and last week finished sewing the border herself.

Sadly her grandmother is not around to see it finished, as she passed away in November at the age of 100.

(Special guest appearance by our tuxedo cat Maia. If you like the quiilt + cat combination, check out the board game Calico, in either physical board-game https://www.flatout.games/calico or as a Steam game.)

I was happy to discover that I actually got a #photo of the #blueangels in front of the chapel dome and the State House. Being on a #boat among thousands of other #boats added to the challenge. It’s harder than you’d think! What a great day!

My friend is doing a lecture tonight about his next #book. It’s being held at the #annapolis #maritime musuem. If you’re local, stop by. If you’re not familiar with Jay’s work- check him out. He’s an extremely talented #photographer who’s documented so much about the #Chesapeake bay region. I’ve learned a lot from him….and he’s one of my best friends
