Sunday Afternoon on Virginia's Eastern Shore

April 10th, 2005

Looking toward the Atlantic from the southern tip of the Eastern shore.



The tide must be quite low, or maybe it's the time of year, too (it's 4/10/2005). Notice the beached boat.



I took this shot from the water's edge.



I didn't know there were so many small islands on the Atlantic side.



A farmhouse. I saw one earlier (but didn't photograph) that had a wrap-around porch such as Kimberly loves.



More farms near the seashore.



See the water beyond the house beyond the field.



Newly plowed and ready for planting; again with a view in the distance.



More countryside!



Blooming trees along the roadway.



The owner must want a better view!



The area is changing.



The house to the left of center is for sale, and has a message loop about its features broadcast on AM radio.



This is the Chesapeake Bay. Notice the famous bridge / tunnel system.



This is the Chesapeake Bay looking north from the southern end of the Eastern Shore.



The sun sets over the Chesapeake.



A former pier in the Chesapeake.



Me at sunset.



That's a view of the Chesapeake to the north behind me.
