I am leaving for Nova Scotia on Sunday and hope to walk along such a shore. Nova Scotia is almost an island. Rising waters would certainly have an impact there as well.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-49066215430886853682015-07-31T12:26:32.326-04:002015-07-31T12:26:32.326-04:00I love your pictures.

I was reading one of your first posts from 2008 where you were reporting about your son's Cub Scout outing at First Landing State Park.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the statement about Spanish Moss only growing in Virginia at First Landing State Park is not true. It has a very healthy and generous population, but there are other places in Southeastern Virginia where it grows. It grows at False Cape State Park, along Milldam Creek in Virginia Beach, in the Dismal Swamp, and along the Blackwater and Nottoway Rivers south of Franklin Virginia. Plus, scientists recently found the most northern known population of Spanish Moss in Northampton County Virginia on the Eastern Shore near Eastville Virginia. It is small, but historical records indicate that it has always existed in that area. I have read several historical accounts from the Civil War written by Union soldiers recording sightings between Suffolk and Franklin. Perhaps you have discovered this fact yourself since you originally wrote that blog back in 2008.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125944582977325720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-18275918775719075472015-07-25T00:01:16.575-04:002015-07-25T00:01:16.575-04:00I love estaurine habitats such as this one.

This is were you take some of your best pictures. The one with your dog is a favorite (I can't remember which of them it is). I join you in hoping folks will wake up in time to avoid catastrophe, and we'll enjoy the beach through your lens for many year to come. chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-53037155965099779032015-07-23T20:54:08.258-04:002015-07-23T20:54:08.258-04:00How beautiful!

I too have been worrying about the fate of the shorebirds as many call my slice of coast home, at least for half the year.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.com
