A TRIP TO THE BEACH TO SEE WILD HORSES


A trip to the beach to see the ocean, wild Assateague horses and maybe, some butterflies.


My first glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean this year was filled with people with heavy bodies and heavy beach gear, instant nature cameras and plenty of aerosol bug spray.



The marshes were quieter.

Diamondback terrapins, first time ever seen...

Enormous gulls

Seaside dragonlets



A tiny community of twenty or so Wood Nymphs gracing the marsh boardwalk, at the west end,  surprising steps down to the beach inlet   





More Seaside Dragonlets interested in Virginia creeper in bloom. 



The wild horses, absent for most of my morning trek, offered a horse and pony show at the exit road, creating a traffic jam and empowering car window tourism that has gained such applause, in a world of too many humans, so immersed in fear.
