Ghost leaves

Long after all the other leaves have fallen, these leaves hang on, looking and sounding spooky. I found these at Wheaton Regional Park, where I also learned there’s still way too much slushy snow to wear Converse All-Stars.

Tire bumper on the Husky II

When I was there last year the Husky II looked pretty rough – it was surrounded by containment boom and looked like it had been underwater recently. I don’t know why the old thing really needs these tire bumpers – I can’t imagine anyone would want to tie up to it.

An afternoon in Annapolis

Standpipe

Since we bought our car at a dealership in Annapolis, we felt compelled to take it back there for the first scheduled checkup. There are closer dealerships, but Annapolis isn’t very far and it’s a fun place to spend a couple of hours.
