Our Trip To Delaware, August 2005


ASSATEAGUE NATIONAL SEASHORE


Wild ponies grazing at Assateague National Seashore beside one of the salt marshes.


Adam standing at the roadside near a sika in the tall grasses.


Remains of a coastal shipwreck.


Laughing gull waiting for dinner to approach it unawares in the water.


A blue crab lurking below the waterline, trying to snatch bait and escape with it.


This crab appeared not to be so lucky, but its size was in its favor: crabs less than five inches across must be replaced in the marsh to grow.


Seabirds digging for mole crabs and clams in the surf of a stormy Atlantic.


The skies were quite gray with bright patches of thin cloud all afternoon.


Adam with a whelk in the visitor's center touch pool.


But this is the main view for which people come to Assateague: the ponies.
