Downs Park
Ever Heard of Downs Park?
Down by the Chesapeake Bay! We were driving down Route 100 and there was a sign that said "Gibson Island" We wondered where is that? We had never been there, so we followed the signs. Unfortunately, Gibson Island is a gated community in the middle of the Bay and some river and you can't just drive in there. However, we did go to the park just around the corner and it was great! Some guy took our picture and we took his. We walked around and they have a dog beach, pavillons, picnic areas, a Mother's Garden where people can get married, a nature center, an aviary, etc. etc. and they sell home made ice cream. If you go...you won't be sorry. Just stay on Route 100 and you can't miss it.

Meet Miss Jean!
Mattie and I were doing a photo shoot for an upcoming book at the National Arboretum. We met a friend and asked to take a picture with her. Do any of you guys who grew up in the 1970's recognize her? Miss Jean from The Hodge Podge Lodge Nature Show on TV. PBS! So she will be in Mattie's book! We had a wonderful chat and she is a great lady. Both Mattie and I were impressed!
