There were several I took like that, but they had family in them and I did not necessarily want to publish them.<br /><br />Sweet Bay, <br />I had to play with the camera to get that shot and actually like the light in the water more than the shell.<br /><br />ESP,<br />I appreciate you stopping by. I think where we live is special too and hope it will stay this way. One benefit of The Great Recession is the near stopping of new developments and building along the Chesapeake. It is good sometimes to stop and catch your breath.<br /><br />KimDenise,<br />Are there any Gulf beaches in Lousiana, or do you have to head to TX or Miss?<br /><br /><br />Compost,<br />Thanks for the compliment.

With every photo I was muttering under my breath, "Wish I had gotten that shot." <br /><br />It really made me nostalgic for the years I was doing research on the shore.

It's fun netting and chucking crabs into your boat, having the odd one escape the bucket and scuttle around on deck until you have time to tong it.<br /><br />I miss the Chesapeake--it's hard to get out there without a vehicle, and harder to enjoy without a boat.<br /><br />Wonderful pictures, by the way.
