The Colors of Summer in Maryland, A Day After Irene

I enjoy walks through the Kentlands and Lakelands communities in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The exercise is good for the body and photographing flowers is good for the mind.

During the past few days, we have experienced an earthquake and a major tropical storm in Montgomery County.  We are grateful that our home and our neighborhood were spared from the major damage that many others have experienced in Maryland.  We do have a lot of tree branches to clean up and there is some wind damage that must be corrected. The community will be just fine in a few days. Life is good in Maryland!

Thanks so much for your comments. It is time to get back to normal after days of storm tracking and preparation. Have an outstanding week as home buyers take advantage of the attractive prices and the very low mortgage interest rates.

 Blooming for you!

You did it again, Roy. Another fine picture of another beautiful flower. I was thinking about you, over the weekend, when I posted my sunflower pictures.

They are nice to see this time of year. Mine are all gone for the season. The grass is turning from brownish to green though.  =-)

Good Tuesday morning to all.  Have a most productive week as home buyers find the ideal homes with bargain prices and very low mortgage interest rates.

It is a good practice to revisit old blogs and reblogs from time to time. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
