Cherry Blossoms 2010
The famous Cherry Blossoms were at their peak just in time for Easter. A large contingent of the extended Hayden family visited the Tidal Basin, and my sister, Eileen the Realtor, took lots of photos.

Late Saturday night update: Saturday was a disappointment in Ocean City, weatherwise. The sky remained gray for too much of the day, and the temperature failed to reach the predicted 60. A few more hours of sunshine and a few more degrees of temperature would have made all the difference. I’m hoping we get [...]

Classic weather in Ocean City. Late Winter or early Spring. Take your pick.
After sunny days during the week, the weekend was a little . . . wet. But not really cold.

The Maryland weather in March — I’d rather not talk about it.
Thursday night was cold, damp and foggy in my part of Maryland. After a string of 60-degree days, I forgot to wear long underwear to work Thursday night. That was a mistake. I had reason to be on the upper floor of a condo [...]

The rumor is true. Snow. The forecasters are calling for three to five on Maryland’s Lower Shore and in Southern Maryland. That’s inches, not feet. Three to five inches of snow. The way things are going this winter, you just don’t know.

A “snow hurricane,” may be hyperbole, but those words are being used to describe the potential of another low-pressure system moving up the East Coast. See Frank Roylance’s Maryland Weather Blog in the sidebar.
This storm looks like a whopper for New York and New England. With luck it might pass us by in the night. [...]

Blue heron wading in a roadside storm water ditch in West Ocean City.
I’ve been stalking the elusive neighborhood blue herons (are there two of them, or more?) for over a year. It’s not that easy to get a good picture of one, unless you have a long-distance lens.
A heron will sit calmly and let [...]
