This is a print from last year, but it still rates as one of my favorites because we had so much fun while we were there. This was taken when we spent a week in Virginia at Assateague Island. This shot is actually taken from where we stayed on Marsh Island, looking back toward the mainland. Assateague and Chincoteague are working fishing communities, so if you like seafood you will definitely enjoy your stay here! But the big draw here is the National Seashore and Wildlife Refuge. Miles of beach with numerous shorebirds and of course, the wild ponies of Assateague Island. We were lucky enough to take a kayak trip so we could get an up close look at the horses and get some decent pictures. The only downside to the island is the mosquito population! If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they would literally drive you back into your vehicle! We learned when we were biking the island that there were certain places you just didn't stop unless you wanted to be the main course for the mosquitos!
All in all, a wonderful week and we would certainly go back again. I would like to see the annual pony swim between Assateague and Chincoteague!
