Long exposure image from a Marsh area in Assateague Island. Numerous birds and their reflections appear as shadows, almost as ghosts. The entire scene has a painterly feel.

Here's a little something from my 2nd trip to Assateague Island last year. While waiting for the Milky Way, I shot some wildlife. Sadly, the Milky Way never showed up. #photography #Landscape #maryland #assateagueisland #SonyAlpha #photos #assateague #naturephotography #photogrpahic

4 photos. Image 1 is of a carolina chickadee perched on a branch. Image 2- the chickadee in image 1 picking a caterpillar off of a branch to eat. Image 3- a small sparrow on the sandy ground covered in pine needles. Image 4- a great egret searching for food behind tall dead marshland grass.

Finished 2 hikes totaling 7.8 miles! 6.3 of that was on sand. I am tired. I am sore. And I would 100% doing it again. There was so much wildlife on the #assateagueisland national seashore. #Maryland #birds #photography #hiking #tired

Wild ponies and sandy hair—the aesthetic is peak healing. 🐚 If you need me, I’m busy chasing horses and pretending I don't have responsibilities. Seriously, book the trip. Your soul needs it. ✨

A bit of grey sky instead of #bluesky as a gull has quite the bathing and preening routine…near the end is landscape scene i intended to paint. #pleinair #artistlife #assateagueisland

There’s a specific kind of magic at Assateague where the marsh meets the sea. 🌾 No noise, just the wind through the grass and the rhythm of the Atlantic.

One more photo from Assateague Island. Four adult horses and two young foals. I believe this is one male with three female adults.

Looking back to our summer visit to Assateague Island National Seashore (about 20 minutes away), the wild horses were hanging out on the beach.

A few more photos from Assateague Island yesterday. These better illustrate the beauty of this marshy Island. BTW, this is the same Island where President Biden fell off of his bike a few years back.
