Don Frame's "Springtime in Frederick"

I asked some Facebook friends for a spring photo of Frederick. Don Frame stepped right up with this shot. It has a wonderful vantage point and is quintessentially Frederick in spring.  Don calls it  "Springtime in Frederick."  Copies can be obtained at McGuire's Fine Arts on Market Street in downtown Frederick. Don's own website is www.donaldframe.com and well worth stopping by to see his gallery of photos.

Scott Speck "Forest In Fog"

Scott Speck took this prize winning pinhole photograph at North Point State Park in Baltimore County, MD.  It illustrates beautifully what he rightly calls a "gorgeous, mysterious, foggy, fall morning."  It is a classic! It won best-in-show at the Applied Physics Lab art show.  I have featured the works of Scott Speck before in the December 23, 2011 post.  Scott posts his photos to Facebook and Flickr.   Here is a low resolution image. Click on it to see the original on Flickr.
