We've been birding, walking and sitting on the beach (in the extreme heat!) and having some nice meals. One specialty of the area near the Chesapeake Bay and the DelMarVa peninsula: crab cakes.

I'm sold on everything (especially the crabcakes!)

ReplyDeleteLovely photos. We live on the same ocean but in the middle of the Atlantic coast of Florida and it looks so different. One thing we do have in common are crab cakes.
I visit Baltimore every year to visit my relatives- they've got the best crab cakes with huge lumps of crab!Darwin,Australia also specializes in mud crabs with HUGE claw meat- great for making 'Chili Mud Crab.' Nice photos of your travels!
ReplyDeleteCrab cakes and shrimp! Yummm.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the beach make me long for it as we did not get to the beach even once this summer. However, It won't be long until me and Mr. Snowbird take off for the winter in Florida and there we live on the beach! Great shots - looks like a wonderful time
ReplyDeleteMy family is still back in Maryland so whenever we go back we get crabcakes. People from the midwest get a distorted idea of what they should taste like, I think. Looks like a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteI love your bird pics. We had some nice crab cakes on a recent Boston visit (and lots of lobster)!
ReplyDeleteLove the beach shots, and especially the crab cakes!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, crab! I live here in the DC area and I still think of it as a special treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely beach shots... Cheers from carole's chatter
ReplyDeleteLove crab cakes and I am making them this upcoming weekend for my husband's birthday. I haven't been to the Delaware shore in decades. I grew up outside Philly and we always visited family in Delaware and sometimes went to the Jersey shore. Fond memories.
ReplyDeleteBring on the bird photos!
i love bird watching, and i love crab cakes:) I remember seeing a massive owl in a tree at Cape May once, and thinking how could it be soooo big? our owls in aus aren't that huge. cheers sherry
