Four days a week I go to a gym, and three days a week I take a long walk. For readers of The Man Who Asked to Be Killed, the scenes above and those immediately below are from the road Buddy drove along to reach Mac’s house. I invented the road that Mac lived on, however. While two real roads run left off the one I walk along, neither suited the needs of the story.

All of the scenes above are along Bay Head Road, six miles from the Naval Academy in the historic center of Annapolis.

Three scenes below are from the nature trail at Woods Landing and the last, of hibiscus, is in Todd’s garden.
