Delmarva Land

That's what Joe the volunteer at the Cape Charles Visitor Centre called it..Del(aware)mar(yland)v(irgini)a...the string of barrier islands that we were about to leave. Picture the eastern outer shore of Chesapeake Bay. That 's where we were today..finding the gorgeous hazy, hot and humid weather that never did seem to find us this past summer in the Ottawa Valley .
So, this trip thus far has been about finding things. And so far, so good. As well as some amazing food - crab, clam, flounder, and full -the birds have been fun too.

Like this Great Blue Heron...seeking the source of the ticking noise...





















Or this Boat Tailed Grackle, seeking what lies beneath...
















and then there's the Great White Herons seeking, and finding, their family tree...

The best thing about travelling, for me, is the anticipation of what I'll find next that will cause me to think, laugh out loud, cry or cringe. But mostly, just appreciate for being.
