Calvert Cliffs State Park, Maryland

 I am sharing some images from our visit to Calvert Cliffs State Park, located on Maryland's Western Shore. The park has 13 miles of trails, a sandy beach where you can search for fossils, fresh water and tidal marsh lands. The cliffs and shoreline are on the Chesapeake Bay, I enjoyed the views of the bay, a nearby lighthouse, hundreds of dragonflies and turtles. We saw a Belted Kingfisher, frogs, lizards  and the Red-headed Woodpecker.

There were hundreds of waterlilies on the marshes.

I was asked a lot on my previous post about beaver and being warned to look for the beaver. The beaver den is right next to the trail. Beavers have been known to attack people if they feel threatened.

I believe this is the Eastern Amberwing dragonfly.

Maryland's Western shores is a little under a 2 hour drive from our house. I have gone birding in this area with the bird club and have gone out on a boat ride to Smith Island from this area but this trip we visited lighthouses, parks and gardens. 


These are some images from an overnight getaway to Maryland's Western Shore. Lighthouses were seen around Solomon's Island, Piney Point and Point Lookout State Park in Scotland Maryland and Calvert Cliffs State Park. 


This is the Piney Point Lighthouse, Piney Point Maryland.

This is the Drum Point Lighthouse in Solomon's Island Maryland. 

Below is the Drum Point Lighthouse. 

This is the Point Lookout Lighthouse, it was closed for renovations. I did not want a photo of the fence around this lighthouse so I only took a photo of the top of the Lighthouse. We were there to watch the sunset. 

The Cove Point Lighthouse is also being renovated due to open this month. 

The view of the Cove Point Lighthouse was taken from the Calvert Cliffs beach. 

Joining in with the National Lighthouse Day on August 7th and the llbinourbackyard.blogspot.com/p/hoppity-hops.  Thanks to our host for the blog hop.
