I had a free day last weekend, so I decided to visit some of the wet areas on the western shore of the bay. I have not generally lived in places where there is an abundance of life, so it was rather startling to observe creatures flying, plashing, wading and hopping away from me whenever I approached.
Jim Henson grew up in Maryland. I would like to think there was a reason he was so much in love with swamps.
This is a historical center near the mouth of the Patuxent River. It is thought that these oyster shells are the food remains from a Native American settlement.

I had no idea there was so much natural beauty in your part of the world. Thank you for capturing it here.
