This place saved my life during the pandemic. I am so happy to be back on the garden grounds again. I went early this morning with my camera.

Ocean City, Maryland: Winter Festival of Lights
So I had to evacuate my house because my ex-husband flew in from Bulgaria to spend a few weeks with our daughter before she heads off to college. Since she really wanted to stay home so she could pack and get organized, I decamped to a little condo in Ocean City so that they could quarantine for 2 weeks. There isn’t much to do here because of the pandemic, but there are still a few outdoor events. The winter festival of lights is a yearly thing here in Ocean City, and it felt so American. Everyone was wearing masks (except the dogs!).
Apple picking in Maine
I busted out my Canon with the fancy lens for a drive through Maine yesterday. Please see the full image gallery here.
Another afternoon at Chanticleer
Being outside in the sunshine was such a joy yesterday, that I went back a second time. I’ve been cooped up in the house for so long that I couldn’t resist the lure of Chanticleer on an almost perfect day. I’ve been trying to find some headspace to help me process all of the ugly injustices happening in the United States right now.
An afternoon at the Chanticleer Pleasure Garden
We are finally in the yellow zone here in Philadelphia and that means that things like stores and gardens are opening up. Today was the first day that people were allowed to return to Chanticleer. I grabbed my camera, enjoyed the sunshine and the gorgeous flowers, and tried to forget about all of the miserable crap happening in the world for a few hours.

Berlin at dawn
So I could not sleep last night and I decided to take my good camera and go out onto the streets of Mitte for some classic scenes in the hour before sunrise (5:15). It’s my last day in Berlin, and I will certainly miss this place.
Springtime is almost here
Well, it is still windy and a bit chilly, but the daffodils think it’s spring. Picked these from the yard.
My photos from the Philadelphia Flower Show
These are my amateur photos from the amazing Philadelphia flower show. An excellent way to spend a Monday evening during Spring Break.
