sunrise at harbourtowne resort, where we stayed

black water nwr

Tom McCorkle June 17, 2014

sloane recently had a work retreat in st michaels maryland, and her company was nice enough to invite me along.  so i of course used my free time wisely, and went kayaking on maryland's eastern shore.  i had been reading about this swamp just south of st michaels, called the black water national wildlife refuge.  rich with small intermingled waterways, and the high probability that i could get lost peaked my interest, and reminded me of paddling the swamps of the low country.  as i stepped out of my car at the landing into a stiff 15 knot eastern wind, i was glad that i had come alone, this was going to be a serious work out.  i paddled 14 long miles of winding river, my mood changing with the direction of the river in relation to the wind.  i struggled grimly with it in my face, and i relaxed and soaked up the scenery when it was at my back.  below are images from the day, which started early with some sunrise shots at the place we stayed.

these snakes were everywhere, i believe they were garter snakes.
