I'd like to give thanks to The Nature Conservancy, MD Department of Natural Resources, and Anne Arundel County Depatment of Recreation and Parks for keeping the Oxbow Lake Nature Preserve naturual and a place where nature exists for everyone to experience.

It's also a great place for sunsets and watching the Canada Geese fly in for the night. Here's my list from Thanksgiving Day at sunset.
