Maryland Summer Flowers:  Photowalking in Kentlands   A good goal at the beginning of a new week is to get more exercise and to find more quality time.  Combine the two efforts by getting away from your computer and take a walk through the neighborhood.  If you have your camera in hand, you will be able to capture the colors of the season.  You will not be thinking about business or office problems when you focus your attention on a beautiful flower or plant.   Life is better when there are flowers to photograph.   Kentlands, Summer Flowers IMG_2933     Rose, Kentlands, Summer Flowers IMG_2944     Lotus, Kentlands, Summer Flowers IMG_2948     Hosta, Kentlands, Summer Flowers IMG_2951     Bee, Kentlands, Summer Flowers IMG_2954     Lotus Blossoms, Kentlands, Summer Flowers IMG_2949     B...

Gaithersburg Flowers:  Photowalking in Kentlands Real estate professionals should really know about the communities in which they live and work.  One way to know what is happening is to get out and walk through the neighborhoods on a regular basis.  The exercise is good for all of us and the chances are that we will meet some people and have the opportunity to discuss our favorite topic, real estate. I like to walk through Kentlands and Lakelands in Gaithersburg with my camera in hand.  When you are taking pictures, it is very likely that the residents will speak with you and that is a very simple way to network on a very local basis.  My goals are to get some exercise and escape from the problems of the moment by focusing my attention on the colors of the season.  Any business contacts...

Longwood Gardens Flower Photographs   Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is one of our favorite places to visit.  The location is just west of Wilmington, Delaware and close enough for day trips from Montgomery County, Maryland.  With over 1,100 acres of gardens, there is much to see.    Dolores and I usually start the day with a photowalk through some of the gardens and then take a break for lunch.  The mushroom soup at Longwood Gardens is not to be missed!  After lunch, we head to the Arboretum to tour the current displays.  Plan to spend much of the day and you will still not be able to see everything during a single visit.  The website provides information on the current exhibits and entertainment.   Be sure to spend some time in the beautiful gift shop before leaving...

Busy Bees in Maryland:  Photowalking in Kentlands   An early morning walk is a good time to enjoy the flowers in your community and the light is perfect for photographs.  In Kentlands, there are thousands of coneflowers and the bees are busy at this time of the year.

Photowalking in Maryland:  Kentlands Flowers   We enjoyed a beautiful day in Maryland.  A two hour photowalk through Kentlands and Lakelands, beginning at 6 a.m., was a good way to start the day.  The birds were singing, the geese were honking and the rabbits were hopping to celebrate the morning.  Dolores and the ladies in the Red Hat Society visited a Civil War museum in Frederick, Maryland and had a delightful luncheon.  They were outfitted in purple and red.   Take time to walk through your neighborhood and enjoy the summer gardens.  It is easy to set aside the issues of the moment when you are focusing your attention on a beautiful flower.      Daylily, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2851 Inticancha Navajo Princess Lily, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2859 Coneflowers, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2863 ...

When you go on vacation… We received this email from our friends at Olde Key Title in Maryland. The article titled “Anti-Hacking Packing”, written by Sid Kirchheimer and published in the AARP Bulletin, provides helpful tips for when you go on vacation, to reduce the risk of identity theft.  These tips are: “Alert your credit card providers.” Before you go on vacation, call your credit card companies and inform them of when and where you will be going on vacation. “Stop your mail.” Either stop your mail completely or have a neighbor collect your mail while you are gone.  You do not want your mail, especially bank statements and the like, piling up. “Weed out your wallet.” Only take with you the necessities (in your wallet), such as some cash, a few credit cards, and a driver’s license. “...

Photowalking in Kentlands: Gaithersburg Flowers   The weather was nice for my early morning photowalk through Kentlands and Lakelands, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It is good to get out early to beat the heat on hot summer days and the early morning light is also good for flower photography.  Dolores is playing golf with the women at Montgomery Country Club and they planned for a hot round.   Take time to walk through your home community and have your camera in hand to capture the moments that you will want to share.  It is easy to set aside the problems of the day as you focus your camera on a beautiful flower.   Coneflower, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2838     Daylily, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2841     Daylilies, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2845     Daylily, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_2848     Daylily,...
