Our escape from the DC area for the weekend was certainly graced. Not only did we go that direction to escape the storms, we went in search of the wildlife and natural scenes of the Maryland and Virginia coast and we found both. The days were perfect, and we enjoyed the walks and the lunches by the sea. It truly felt as if we had escaped from all the demands and concerns of life.
We did not find the wild horses of Chincoteague Island, however we did find the wild mosquitoes! On my search for a lovely picture of a path through the wooded beach and marshlands, the herd of mosquitoes attacked and I have the bites to show for my explorations! I look like I have chicken pox! However much they itch, they are a constant reminder of the grace of a lovely weekend.
