The best Maryland real estate office is now even better! – RE/MAX Realty Group Since 1994, it has been my good fortune to be an Associate Broker at RE/MAX Realty Group in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  This has been an outstanding office for many years and is the base for many of the top real estate professionals in the suburban market around Washington, DC. 2012 has begun on a very positive note with the addition of a large number of real estate professionals to the office.  Many of the new members have moved to our office from the now closed Realty Executives office in Gaithersburg. January is a great time for changing offices because each individual will have time to qualify for the RE/MAX International Platinum Club when their personal commission production exceeds $250,000 this year.

Hibiscus at Longwood Gardens – Photograph by Dolores Kelley Hibiscus blooms are always good subjects for flower photographers.  And one place to find a variety of beautify hibiscus plants is in the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. My wife, Dolores, asked me to share one of her favorite photographs with you. Have a great day and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments.

Maryland Weather – Photographs by Roy Kelley We have another beautiful day in Maryland and the conditions were ideal for my morning walk through Kentlands and Lakelands in Gaithersburg. It is good to have photographs to help us remember other January days that were somewhat different.  At this time last year, we were still digging out of deep snow.  It is fun to take photographs with deep snow but life is much easier with good weather. Have a great week and may you be blessed with good weather.  Life is very good in Maryland.

Skating on the Kentlands and Lakelands Lakes is Prohibited! The frozen lakes look inviting, but please do not attempt to play or skate on any of the lakes in Kentlands and Lakelands.  The ice could give way and you would fall into freezing water!  If this were to happen, it could prove fatal before rescuers could reach the scene.  Talk to your children about the extreme danger of playing on the ice or the rocks surrounding the lakes. Even though the ice looks stable, our lakes double as a storm drainage network. This means that the level of water under the ice may be lowering.  In addition, the water is constantly moving under the ice, thus further contributing to a very dangerous environment.  An adult can lose motor skills within a minute of being in freezing water and it's even faste...

Dahlias in Kentlands – Roy and Dolores Kelley Photographs As we face the chilly days of winter and the absence of flowers in our gardens, it is good to have some flower photographs in our files to brighten our days.

Please share photographs from your favorite places in the comments for this post. Dahlias in Kentlands IMG_0190 Photograph by Roy Kelley using a Canon PowerShot G11 camera.
