Early Spring Flowers

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Paca House in Historic Annapolis for their website and for the magazine Life On The Hill.  99% of the images, I cannot release yet, for they are going on their website.  However, I want to share with you what I found in the gardens!

Aren't these lovely?  Crocuses, Snowdrops and Hydrangeas (from last year).  

If you'd like to purchase art prints of these, 8x10 prints start at $25.00.

World's Largest Swim Lesson

I had a GREAT opportunity to photograph a swim lesson for kids to participate in the World's Largest Swim Lesson.  At 11 am Eastern Time yesterday, all over the world, participating pools did a swim lesson to enter it in the Guinness Book of World Records.  Yes, this included some swim lessons done in the middle of the night.  I think kids anywhere in the world, when presented with an opportunity to go swimming, will jump at the chance to do it in the middle of the night.

So this is the Bay Hills Swim Club, managed by DRD Pools:

It's a gorgeous pool.  You can find DRD Pools on their FB page at:  http://on.fb.me/UscSAw.

Here are some of the activities.  Get ready for fun, splashing, and super cuteness.  The water wings on the little totally crack me up.
