Day 1041: nature's DIY

Since we're between projects right now, yesterday we decided to visit one of the bigger lumber yards around--the Calvert Cliffs State Park. It was a beautiful day for a leisurely drive and hike, so we took advantage.

Right from the parking lot the view over a little pond was breathtaking, and we knew we'd made a wise choice.

There are several trails that meander through the park, but we picked one that would take us down to the water. 

All around were spectacular sights, especially as we got close to the water and a marshy area developed alongside the path.





We were careful to adhere to all posted signs and placards...even when they contradicted themselves.



There were some that we found pretty easy to stay on the right side of.


The trail ended at a small beach that easily justified the "cliffs" in the name. Those in the first picture were inaccessible from the beach, but those in the second picture were walk up and touchable.


The view out to the horizon was beautiful, the lapping waves were hypnotic, and the water proved irresistible.
