Point Lookout ~ Blogtoberfest Day 17

At the southernmost tip of Maryland's western shore is a peninsula formed by the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River.  It's known as Point Lookout.  We spent Sunday walking around the park and enjoying a mildly warm albeit windy day.

This is the Potomac side.  That is a lighthouse on the left and is not in use anymore.


This is the Bay side.  It has much less beach than the river side, but has a couple of fishing piers.


While on the Bay side we found deer tracks


While on the river side we saw deer.


It was fun to come across this while walking on the beach before the tide washed it away.


The park is full of pine trees.  Pine cones covered the ground and reminded us of the time we lived in North Carolina.  I brought a couple of them home, but I might have to go back for more for holiday decorating!




What kind of fun did you have over the weekend?

Have a marvelous Monday!
