The day after Thanksgiving John, Jeanne, Peter, Ken and I went to Chincoteague
The wild horses were constantly foraging, and we saw them frequently...
each of them as round as a barrel and eating enthusiastically!
Jeanne enjoyed feeding the seagulls.
a typical scene...oh, it was lovely!
sunrise on Saturday
a loon!
typically, snow geese congregate in the hundreds of thousands this time of year at Chincoteague,
but sadly, not this year.
we did find this flock of a few hundred.
it was such a pretty time!!!
just love this picture!
and during the football 'game'....
Jeanne got back to 'concessions'
we counted at least 3 different species of sea gulls
....some had black legs, some had pink legs, and some had yellow legs!
it was a delight to see these two dive under and then swim to get their dinner--they are so fluid in their movements!
this little darling was completely unafraid and very sociable! quite a cheeky representative of the island.
It was such a blessed, grace filled time!
Thanks be to God in His Mercy!

What wonderful pictures!! It makes me want to go to Chincoteague so much. I had to smile at how that horse really looks like he is trying desperately to kiss Jeanne!! And I love seeing all the different birds (especially the snow geese). Jeanne really looks like she is laughing and sharing a hilarious story with the seagulls :)
