There is a flower, a little flower
With silver crest and golden eye,
That welcomes every changing hour,
And weathers every sky.
– James Montgomery, A Field Flower

Daisies have always been one of my favorite flowers.    I had to stop at church this morning to drop something off and these daisies were in one of the flowerbeds in front of the church  Of course, I had to go back to the car and get my camera and take a few shots. Love how I managed to capture the raindrops.  We have had rain on and off for several days now and more rain is in the forecast for the next few days.

The TV show Tanked installed two aquariums in the new food court at the Annapolis Mall.  The show aired this past week but we missed it.  Will have to see it in re runs.

This aquarium is in the shape of a lighthouse and  features a nautical theme with U.S. Navy memorabilia—including flags, a hand-crafted ship’s mast and Caribbean fish.  There are tables and chairs all around the aquarium so it was hard to get a good shot.  It has a flag pole with some nautical flags on it.

Some people like to walk in the rain but the passionate photographer is out looking for a good photo.  Tropical Storm Andrea hit Maryland last last night and it’s still raining and supposed to rain until late tonight.  We went to our usual Friday night wine and cheese tasting and then were heading out to dinner in Annapolis but traffic was at a standstill so we headed home.  After I grabbed a bite to eat headed out to the yard.  The lilies just started to bloom a couple of days ago and a couple of them are in full bloom.  It was hard to decide which pictures I liked the most.  Guess that means I am improving.

Got a chance to go on the roof of the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Baltimore today.  The company I work for manages a building in downtown Baltimore and the owner wanted me to try and take some pictures of the building.  They just completed a major landscaping project last year.  The flowers that they planted last year are now in bloom and they wanted an updated photo.  So a co-worker and I got to go on two of the three roofs.  The building is kitty corner to the building.   We went on the lower roof first but it was hard to get a good photo of the building with the landscaping so the Chief Engineer of the building was kind enough to take us up to the the next roof.  There are three.  Even though it was overcast today the views were amazing and it was great to have a different perspective.  I could have stayed up there a long time taking photos but did not want to overstay my welcome.  I managed to take several photos of the building and a few more photos of the Baltimore skyline.  This is one of the skyline facing north from the Inner Harbor.

Another beautiful day today.  Went for a walk before supper tonight.  Decided to walk to another one of the beaches in the neighborhood.  On the way there I noticed these flowers in a neighbor’s yard.  I have never seen anything like them.  Does anyone know what they are.  Took several pictures and could not decide which one I liked the best.
