this morning we left St Michaels. We spent yesterday watching Ospreys in their nests along the waterfront. I will only post one more photo of Ospreys as I know it’s not everybody’s kind of thing, but we have been absolutely bowled over by the fact that there are nesting stations.…
We set off early from Virginia Beach in the pouring rain, thanking our lucky stars we had had two days of dry weather and some sunshine while we were in the area, and were able to walk around Back Bay reserve and sit on the beach for a while. In…
We have been at Back Bay reserve again today, stopping on the way at a little fishing pier on a quiet beach on the way. Virginia Beach is quieter today, with everybody having gone back to work today, and we wanted to go and walk in the reserve. The beach…
