I am linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences
I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.
For my Skywatch Friday and Good Fences I am sharing some Ocean City Maryland scenes from our last visit there. For those who are not familiar with my home state of Maryland, we are located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Appalachian Mountains. I guess you could say we have the best of both worlds with the ocean and the mountains.
Hubby and I enjoyed a little trip to the beach, we enjoyed the sunsets, sunrises and all the cool birds. I met up with an old high school friend, we had a nice reunion. We had not seen each other in 30 years or so. It was a great trip!

The sunrise from our room..We got a great deal from Quality Inn on the boardwalk, awesome price for the two nights. How could we turn that down? I hope this balcony railing counts as a fence shot.
We watched the sunrise from our balcony..

may every sunset bring you peace." unknown author
Along with watching the sunrise, I was able to watch this flock of Black Skimmers on the beach.
During the day we drove over to Assateague Island to look for more birds and the wild horses. The horses were greeting people right at the entrance gate of the Assateague Island National Seashore.
A couple brought their own horses to Assateague for a ride on the beach. Some more beach fences for Tex's Good Fences.
We counted at least 6 Great Egrets at Assateague, only 3 are shown in this photo.
The view of the beach and boardwalk from our room..Not sure what the sideways row of fences is for, maybe sand erosion?
Sunset was on Ocean City's bay side..

Hi Eileen
Looks like a nice little trip. And I love your updated header photo---those berries and that woodpecker looks quite "Christmas-y". Hope you have a fun weekend
Hi Eileen,
fantastic soft colors in the sunset and so many animals on the way.
Have a great day.
Best regards, Synnöve
What a way to start and end the day with those beautiful views of the sky. Love all the birds and the horses that were greeting you at the entrance.
Fabulous sunsets and sunrises, Eileen in a perfect location! The Black skimmers are so well groped for you shot of them on the beach and I always love to see horses! Thanks so much for sharing your trip!

Those are some beauty shots!!! YAM xx
Oh what beautiful photos. I have a soft spot in my heart for sunrises over the water. And I love black skimmers their long beaks and face just amuse me. I'm so glad you met up with the friend from long ago. We went to our high school 50year reunion and what a wonderful time it was to see so many old friends. Hope you have a wonderful day!!
Sunsets, wild horses, birds, fences, reunions . . .
All good and great!
Excelente e belas fotos.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
Beautiful sky shots, Eileen. And I love the egrets and marsh. That's beautiful. So the wild horses of Assateague roam free? I had no idea.
Nice photo that first one with the sunset through the fence.

Sending Lots of Love and Hugs and Night Night from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
What a glorious finish! I would love to plant myself between the ocean and the mountains. We are talking about it for our retirement!
Such beautiful views Eileen, the horses made me smile.
First of all, Ocean City was a favorite place for us to visit on the East Coast. Just a short drive across the bridge from D. C. Always a fun, beautiful stop-over.
Great birds...and wild horses. Super!!
The fabulous scenes in your shots are really mind blowing. I love the sunset pictures giving panoramic viewing.
It never ceases to amaze me how many wonderful birds you see so close to home!
You can always lower my blood pressure with a twilight shot.
Lovely place.
wonderful sunsets in the two last photos Eileen!
The skylines are superb, and the wild horses are beautiful. Rich of post Eileen
Wow - what glorious skies and adorable horses!
Spectacular scenes and I love the horses greeting at the entrance. Have a happy day!
the sunset's are just breathtaking eileen, and i love the simplicity of the first image!!!
you were lucky to see the horses,that's always a special treat!!!!!
happy belated birthday, i hope it was a special day!!!!
Wow! Love them all. I got my horse fix for the day and that sky, well, all these shots are amazing.
You find such wonderful spots.
Eileen, what a blessing to be in nature and see friendly wild horses, sunsets and birds! Thoroughly captivating!
Oh My, how beautiful is that. Those skies are amazing.
Hi Eileen! What a great and perfect view from your room, and what fun to catch up with an old friend too. I love your photos -- sometime I'm going to have to go over to Assateague, I'd love to see the ponies!
another wonderful trip for you and hubby ~ Gorgeous sky shots and fences! Wonderful nature shots built in!
Wishing you a magical week,
artmusedog and carol
What lovely sky photos, especially the sunrises and sunsets.
Good morning Eileen, I just love hopping along on your adventures. But meeting up with those wild horses to greet folks, now that is really quite wonderful. Great fun., thanks for sharing. My feet don't even feel tired! Hehehe!
Hi Eileen, Sure like your pictures in this post. There is nothing like a trip to the beach. Coincidentally, I am at the beach this morning in Oregon. I hope to share some pics on a future post. Have a great day and a fine weekend ahead!
You are a spirit lifter, E!

Ocean City and the beaches: Rehoboth, Bethany, and Dewey...I remember them all from being in High School in Washington D.C. and those were the beach getaways.
Lovely pics, Eileen.

Wow those sunsets are stunning. Lovely scenes for sure. I think the balcony railing counts quite well for a fence. This looked like a really wonderful place. I enjoyed all your photos very much.
really beautiful. from the opening scene to the closing.
Gorgeous sunsets, and I love the shaggy horses!
What a fantastic sunset.

Sunrise and sunset really feels like a magical time of day to me. Beautiful shots.
Hi Y'all!
Love that sunset...Haven't been to Assateague in years...used to love visiting there in the winter.
Y'all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Hi Eileen, so beautiful photos! I love the sunset and horses riding at the beach. Excellent photographic notes. Hugs and good week end.
Thanks for letting me enjoy this grand trip with you. Beautiful photos and post.
Oh, what a fun trip indeed!! And so much beauty -- from earth to sky and back!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing!! And yes, I'm thrilled silly over my grandson -- a joy regardless of ones age!! I won't be able to go to Dallas to see him until March, but time does fly these days and I'm already tucking things into my suitcase just for him!! I hope you have a lovely weekend!! Enjoy!!
Marvellous shots.
Beautiful skies with pretty colors. Love the beach shots, too!
Beautiful skies..Assateague is a fun place..very pretty..We have a security guard here that spends all his free time there..Thanks for sharing..
Outstanding photos. How nice that the horses came out to greet you. : )
Wonderful photos ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
Beautiful shots! My sister and her family were regular visitors to Ocean City when they lived in Maryland, but I never made it there. Seems unlikely for me now that they have all relocated to Texas. I always wanted to visit Assateague Island too.
Been years since I was in Ocean City. Great memories! You captured the sky color well!
How nice of the horses to serve as greeters!
Gorgeous views of the sky.
Those are very serene shots, they can induce to just sitting in a hammock and read a book with a cup of coffee at the side. Your area between the mountains and the ocean is the bigger counterpart of where i live in the province! Yes heavenly place.
Such beautiful photos...after a day of drab, dreary weather they are a sight for sore eyes...LOL
Oh i love the 1st photo most...the contrast so beautiful
Nice golden sky
Loved to read your post and thanks for sharing beautiful photos.
1st and last pic jut Amazing.
~ Have a nice weekend ahead ~
It are very nice shots only I am a little disturbed by the tilting horizon in the most of your pic's. It would make the photo's perfect without it.
Beautiful series of shots. I know clouds really add to a sunset scene, but I love your second shot with the clear sky and the bird silhouettes.
Such beauty in this post Eileen and I love the horses on the beach, and your sky scenes are beautiful. Happy Weekend~
Eileen, sometimes I can't find the right words to describe the beauty of your photos and scenery. The sky views are gorgeous and as always your critters are always interesting.
Wonderful shots of this trip, eileen. I specially like the last one with the birds in front of that fiery sky.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Beautiful! I especially like the last photo.
Have a wonderful week-end!
Lea
How joyful! I travel vicariously with my friends!
Gorgeously framed!!
Wow, great images. Number 2, 4, 8 and 9 are my favourites. What a view you had! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Eileen,
Such beautiful images from your home state of Maryland! How lovely to have met up with an old friend after such a long time! Your sunrises ad sunsets are as inspiring as the quotes that complement them!
Happy weekend!
Poppy
Always a great feeling to meet up with friends we haven't seen in a while. Marvelous photos from your trip Eileen. Happy day to you :)
Wow, very nice !
beautiful as always. I think the fences is for stopping the sand from drifting to far when it is windy.
Gorgeous skies! I love the horses and all the birds. I'd love to go walking on that beach.
Hi Eileen,
all very nice images, amazing skies!
Happy weekend!
Beautifully taken,love the last one
It looks like a very successful trip, Eileen! That final image is a stunning sky!
Beautiful images. I would dearly love to return to Assateague Island now that I have a digital camera. You'd never get me to leave.
Eileen, Thank you for sharing these absolutely gorgeous pictures. I would love to visit this area of our country. Wishing you many blessings this Sunday.
The colours in those skies are just wonderful. Doesn't nature provide us with wonderful views.
Thanks for sharing them
All the best Jan
A pure delight these images, Eileen... and the last one... I have got no words for such beauty in it...
An amazing post, as usual!
Kisses
Ana
