Sunday Worship Services – 27 February 2011

[Jimbaux gets around, but not quite in the same way as 2Pac.]

Like Old Times, But Not At All

Whassup, mes amis!  Some of you Pelican State foamers may remember my “Sunday Worship Services” posts from years ago, and I’m now reintroducing them, though the form and context is much different.  What better day than Sunday than to glorify the beautiful Earth in all of its illuminated goodness!

How long I’ll keep this up is anyone’s guess.  Anyway, I have several pictures today, and I don’t really have much to say.  So, the picture-to-word ratio will be unusually high, and that, my dear Jimbauxlings, is a truly wonderful thing!

My work on Sunday took me out to Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA, and that’s where all of these pictures were taken.  The pictures start out rather lame and get better toward the end.

That’s a street shot in Glen Burnie.

Here’s Something You Don’t See Every Day

You know, there’s something familiar about this shot, but back home, there would be a levee obscuring the view of the ship!

This road led to a place called Gibson Island, or something like that, and access was limited.  So, I didn’t feel like bothering with that and turned around  and left.  I got more shots on the way out.

I love taking shots down lonely pastoral rural roads.  Of course, city views can be  interesting too.

Here was the community of Pinehurst where access to the beach was restricted, and there is our same ship, I suppose arriving  for either export coal or grain.  Anyone know?  What goes out of Baltimore?

I got the heck out of there.

Sunday, In the Park

I arrived at Lake Waterford, an artificial lake along the Upper Magothy River.

There were plenty of people out at the lake on this Sunday afternoon.

Here’s a bridge leading over the weir seen  in the earlier picture.

Note the people standing at the far right in the below picture.  You’ll see them again!

Note the waterfowl too!

Geese Again!

Yes, these geese were a major subject of my recent “Snowy Bowie” article.

Here are some closer views  of our feathered friend.

And this is just a zoomed-in crop of the same shot.

Want to go fishing?

Here’s another view back toward the bridge and  the weird where the lake ends.

Yeah, more geese!  Hungry?

Which goose shot do you like best?

Fun For the Whole Family

You know, Jimbaux loves good family fun, and this family provided great subjects for photography.

This is Josh Lyons and his family, and they are from Anne Arundel County.

Here’s one last quick instant of father-daughter glory.

Okay, let’s look at the bridge again.  (I told you I didn’t have much to say today; doesn’t the narrative seem forced?)

Hey, look!  Someone else has a camera too!

And here’s one last shot, a shot of the endof the lake as water travels down the weir with a branch hanging on the crest.

Okay, mes amis, that’s all for today!  I’m not sure when the next post will be.  I’m sorry that the writing  today seemed uninspired.

Merci,

Jimbaux
