Assateague

 I thought it would be a nice break from ALLLLL this snow and cold weather (snarky tone intended) we are having here to share some of my favorite beach pictures.  One of my favorite beach is Assateague State Park, Assateague, MD.  What a beautiful place, the natural beauty is stunning and the wild ponies are incredible. It is a photographer's paradise. If you've never been I highly recommend you go.  We are hardy folks so we tent camped on the beach (gasp I know I actually slept in a tent!!). Camping on the beach is amazing.  Both times we went the weather was perfect (except for the day we were leaving it rained both times) and the waves just lull you to sleep at night. The first time we went it was in the late Spring, in the Middle of May and the second time was the early fall, the begining of October.  Both were perfect times and we can't wait to go back again this year. These are just a few of the amazing pictures I had taken.  Enjoy!

One of my favorite photos

We took a walk to the beach to fly kites and walking back, she was in our site. This was so cool.

Sunset on the beach... I picture myself in my beach chair watching the sunset with Rich by my side and a beautiful glass of wine.
