A trip to the shore (Ocean City) and the little town of Berlin Maryland on Wednesday and Thursday with my better half. A few hours at the beach and a few at an old town made for a nice mix of good old Maryland experiences.

Being my time at the beach this year has been limited, I used the day to soak it in. No photography at all there. The feeling of fingers and toes in the sand, the sound of crashing waves, the laughter of children, the warmth of the sun, and the coolness of the ocean breeze.

But that evening and the next morning I got to take a few as we wandered the town of Berlin.

We had a nice stay at the historic Hotel Atlantic. Great staff and meal at the hotel on Wednesday night. The beds were a little soft for my liking though so I was up early to take a few shots before the courtyard filled.

It’s late now and I’ve got a lot more editing to do so I’ll post some more images tomorrow and elaborate on what I liked about the town.

I promise a day of shooting at the beach in September.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• I can’t believe schools are starting already. Not that I go to school. We just help watch children so our daughters can teach school.
• Having worked all my life I can see why a lot of workers are dissatisfied.
• I don’t feel good, but I feel better. So I’ll take that and run with it.
• My confidence in management and ownership in this country to wake up to the fact that a lot of workers are dissatisfied is slim to none.
