Photo of the Week: A Sacred Moment with Nature

Photo by Irene Martinelli.

“I'm relatively new to Annapolis and am only now getting to learn about special 'secrets' like the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. I visited the sanctuary off of Bay Ridge only last weekend for the first time...my dog walker told me about it. I was enthralled and I don't know who was more excited, myself or my dog. While he sniffed, I photographed nesting ospreys and sat on the pickle barrel bench enjoying this wonderful sanctuary. The ospreys would take turns going and coming and feeding or adding to the nest. I held my finger on the trigger and shot an endless series of photos and was so excited to be sharing this sacred moment with nature. I was so enthralled that I am bringing another photographer friend with me on Sunday to share this treasure. It’s imperative that the Bay lives again.”

Quite a few couples pick out to worship both individually or they're going to obtain a diverse faith that fits them both.
