Annapolis: Maryland State House - Washington Resigning His Commission Washington Resigning His Commission, hanging in the Grand Staircase at the Maryland State House, was painted by Edwin White in 1858. This monumental painting depicts the scene in the Old Senate Chamber on December 23, 1783, when General George Washington resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the victorious Continental Army. White took some liberties in depicting those present at the ceremony, including Martha Washington and her niece who were actually at the Washington home in Mount Vernon. The Maryland State House, located inside State Circle, is the oldest U.S. state capitol in continuous legislative use, and houses the Maryland General Assembly, plus the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The current two-story brick building, the third statehouse on the site, was constructed from 1772 to 1797 to the Georgian style design of Joseph Horatio Anderson and features the largest wooden dome in the United States constructed without nails. An black and gold Italian marble annex was constructed between 1902 and 1906, replacing an earlier annex, under the supervision of Baltimore architects Baldwin & Pennington. From November 1783 to August 1784, Annapolis was the capital of the United States, and the Congress of Confederation, also known as the Continental Congress, met in the Maryland State House. It was in the Old Senate Chamber that George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army on December 23, 1783; and that that Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris on January 14, 1784, formally ending the American Revolutionary War.

Annapolis: Cantler's Riverside Inn - Cantler's Crab Dip Cantler's crab dip is a secret recipe--Maryland blue claw crab meat mixed with melted cheeses and herbs, served with petite french baguettes. Maryland Blue crabs are a significant part of both Maryland's economy and culinary culture. Native to the western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, but they associated with the Chesapeake Bay area, the blue crab's name comes from its bright blue claws and olive-green shell.

Scant Time for Practice Due to cloudy and rainy weather, my wife, Leona, and I are finding scant time to practice our photography for the April 8 solar eclipse. We waited all day today to get a couple of photos at about 1749 EDT. Still, the Sun's disc in this photo is mottled by thin clouds.
