We have reached the one-year anniversary of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Yay. I am very grateful that I have reached this milestone relatively unscathed. Margo and I got the one-shot vaccine Sunday so we are feeling hope for better times ahead.
During the past 12 months I have spent even more time strolling along in the C&O Canal National Historical Park, camera in hand. Because my gym was closed I needed more walking as exercise, and I had plenty of time to do it. With all the added time and miles spent on the canal I saw and photographed more interesting creatures than ever before.
The Park celebrated an anniversary of its own on Jan. 28 when it marked 50 years as a National Park. Today I am posting photographs of birds and beasts taken in the park in the 52 weeks of the pandemic. I tried to limit the selection to one photo per species with two exceptions.
I hope you enjoy a little escape through these photographs.
