Janes Island State Park

"The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness." ~ Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)



I recently dropped in on my friend at Janes Island State Park in Crisfield. Phoebe is an extremely talented gal with the art brush and Adobe Photo. She also has all the equipment to design and print custom tee shirts.

Janes Island State Park recently planted some flowers around their sign to beautify the area. Phoebe entered a contest for Maryland parks and she photo shopped what the sign would look like when the flowers bloomed. She won $2,500 for the park with her talent. Way to go, Phoebe!

While I was visiting Phoebe, I walked around the park and took a few photos.

You can go primitive, bring your motor home, or rent one of several cozy cabins. There is also a huge beautiful two story cabin for rent for large parties. Kayaks are available for rent, and there is a nice playground for the kids.

I ran into this lady in the office. She had tons of photos from her many trips from New Jersey to Janes Island Park each year, and was happy to show them to me. She said she has been coming to the park since she was a young girl.

I captured these handsome young men pulling up to the dock to take a break from patrolling our bay.

Bring you fishing poles!

I need to get the photo that Phoebe photo shopped to put with this. Instant flowers are my kind of flowers.

This is a tee shirt Phoebe made me using one of my photos. On the back she has a crab holding a camera. Thanks, Phoebe. No thanks to the person who took my photo. A little off on the lighting, eh? Tee looks great, though.
