Back to Nature

It's currently spring in Maryland and it is such a gorgeous time of year.

The images below were taken from March 29th to April 23, 2025 on my LITTERacy walks (where I pick up trash) through Monkton or along the NCR trail.

This season is quite short, most Marylanders understand that in the blink of an eye we will go from crisp mornings to steamy afternoons laden with humidity and bad hair days for everyone. Even baldies.
