January - March, 2020

I was out of the country from Jan. 15 through Feb. 10 (see photos from my Uganda trip here), and again in early March, just before the COVID-19 restrictions began.  That left a number of days for enjoying the delights of Cape May as winter gave way to spring.  Here are a few highlights.
