First Time Visit


























The visit to Ocean City was a trip of many firsts. One of those was a couple trips to Assateague Island. I had fished near part of the island, but hadn't set foot on the sand. The nature on the island is great, as their are three trails. I walked two of them, which was great with the leaves turning. Their weren't many people on the island which was good for photographs. We came across the horses on a curve in the road. The horses will be another post. We went back a second time on a rainy day and stopped in the visitors center. The center is new and offered some history on the island. The fish were shot at an aquarium at the center. The next time we visit in the fall, we will head to Chincoteague to see the snow geese.

Another Sunrise




















It's wet and chilly today, so that makes it a good time to share another sunrise from Ocean City. Hopefully it warms you up. While on the Eastern Shore, we also went to Rehobeth Beach. It was my first time there. There were a lot of first time visits for me on this trip. Like Ocean City, a lot of places were closed for the season, but enough was open to enjoy a walk around the town. I am an early riser, so instead of reading, I grabbed my camera and headed out to the beach. One morning, we ate at Dumser's Dairyland and I loved the place. It was a step back in time.

Back to the Beach




















Okay, you may get tired of Ocean City and sunrises this week, but I have a lot of images I want to share. Of course it's to be cold here this week and maybe shots of the beach will warm you up. One day the Boardwalk was taken over by newfoundland dogs. They are big lovable dogs. In the parking lot we saw a car leaving with a dog's head sticking out of the sun roof. It was funny or maybe you had to be there. There is one shot of the moon just before sunrise. It was my first time to Ocean City in the off season and I loved it. We had a good time.
