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.
I heard on the news that the groundhog did NOT see his shadow, now if you can believe him we will have an early spring. I am already wishing it was spring, I seem to wish the time away during the winter months. Our 23 inches of snow is shrinking, the latest day of rain and warmer temps helped to get rid of the white stuff. It is hard to believe on Feb 1st, my son will have been in his own home for two years. Gee, where does the time go?
I am behind sharing some photos, these are more images from our most recent trip to Ocean City in early January. We spent two nights visiting the Delaware shores, Ocean City and Assateague Island, Maryland.
Ocean City, Maryland inlet is a hotspot to see Loons and other seabirds. We also saw a dolphin.
Plenty of Loons around the Ocean City inlet.
A view looking toward the bay
We had a sighting of a large flock of Brant Geese near the inlet.
Pretty view of the sky and reflection and a fence shot at the inlet.
More Loons, we saw 6-8 Loons hanging at the Ocean City Inlet.
It was a cold winter day, a little windy but always nice to have the beach practically to ourselves. We did share the beach with some gulls and pigeons.
Find JOY in the little things. I hope you enjoyed our trip to Ocean City, Md. Thanks for visiting and for the nice comments.

Stunning photos, and lovely and serene place. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic place and nice pictures.. Have a great day my friend..
Such lovely images and yes that is such a 'pretty view of the sky and reflection and a fence shot at the inlet.' Once again a great selection.
I do agree with you about time and the years flying by so quickly. So many important milestones of our loved ones, we remember so well, and are so proud of them and their achievements.
Hope you have a happy Thursday
All the best Jan
I love going to the beach in winter when DH and I are the only people there and the only sounds are the wind and surf and the cries of the gulls.
Ready for spring? Me too!! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Wonderful walk in good weather. He was a blue ocean, sandy beach, birds, and there were no people. Regards.
A super great collection of what is available at that shoreline, Eileen. Just perfect pix to take me there...thank you!...:)JP
23 inches of snow? Hope you are still warm and dry!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Lovely pics.
Greetings :)
Fun post Eileen. I don't believe I have ever seen a Brant Goose before. The loons are a cute bird and very pretty scenery. Have a great day!
Wonderful post! I so rare see water birds... Brant Geese I know only by reading childrens books...
I would have a spring now, of course -
Have a nice and warm time
the loons and brants are both so cool! love the sunburst shot! thanks, eileen!
wonderful sunny photos! have a great day :)
I had never heard of Brant geese. How wonderful to have an empty beach to explore. The photos are beautiful and make me want to take a road trip. It's been a long time since we visited the east coast.

What a delightful place! LOVE the 'fence' shot... YAM xx
All being well and time permitting, we hope to visit Ocean City this summer! Your photos have inspired us to go as the beaches look gorgeous and there are so many sights to see! I enjoyed seeing the loons and geese!
Have a wonderful day!
Hi Eileen,
fabulous photos of a sunny day and this wonderful area.
Best regards, Synnöve
My husband spend several childhood years living on the Naval Academy, his dad was an officer. We have been to Maryland, Delaware a couple of times - so pretty. Ocean City only 1 time. Nice pictures.
Beautiful 'blues'. Happy Day.
I've never been to Ocean City Beach so I enjoyed the tour. Love the rock at the shorelineand the birds.
Have a great day!
ah...I could almost pack up the pups and head for the beach.
(but I've started on novel #31 and eager to write)
Beautiful area......all of the photos are so nice.....I especially like the one with the gorgeous sun reflecting on the water....Have a wonderful day......
O LOVE the blue skies with a few clouds!
I would like to see a loon and never have. i love the view with the fence in the foreground. time does fly looking back. glad you snow is shrinking and that you will have an early spring.. all the views you shared today are just beutiful
Great photos!
The fifth one is my favorite
Finding Joy in the little things is a wonderful mantra . . .
And I think you and your husband find many places/spaces to do just that!
Great photos, fences for us to enjoy too!
Hi Eileen, great shots of the fences and skies. Love your collages and the birds are always a delight to see. Adding the map was fun. I am a ways from this spot!!
Have a great day and weekend ahead. ;)
Hello Eileen,
Amazing to see these fantastic shots. So great along the coastline.
Many greetings,
Marco
A place that I've never been to...thanks for taking me along.
What fabulous shots.
In my town it is raining and gloomy. It is a pleasure to see these wonderful pictures full of sun.
Great shots of nature and fence ~ Beautiful capture of the 'light' ~
Happy Weekend to you, ^_^
Hello Eileen!!
What a beautiful place to visit!Like the pictures of the shore and the preety birds,too!Great shots!I'm waiting for Spring too!I don't like Winter!!
Have a lovely day!
Dimi..
Good morning, I am so enjoying the little things, keeping spirits up during our wintry time, but a good little trip somewhere would be perfect. Your opening photo is just what I'm thinking about! Of course I'd pretty much take any place if it had sunshine! Enjoy your day.
Aaah, the beach! So wonderful, especially when devoid of crowds of people.
Super shots. It makes me long for summer

What a beautiful place to visit. I enjoyed the birds, fences and the pretty blue sky/sun. - It does make me look forward to spring.
Beautiful photos, and what a wonderful place to visit. I can almost be there, will give the big wheel a miss, and just enjoy it all, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful images, the Loons are marvelous and sights of everything are superb.
Very pretty shots!
Hi Eileen, Lots of nice shots to enjoy! The first shot like a painting.
What neat photos with the sun shining! That doesn't always work out but your photos are great! I guess I need to experiment more. Hugs!
Love the loons - and the beach looks fabulous!
Ah those photos are lovely!! Yes, joy is in the every day little things. : )
Oh, such a beautiful place indeed and I do love seeing the SUN!! Terrific captures, as always, and the next best thing to being there myself!! Thank you for sharing the beauty and the fun and have a great weekend!!
Delightful skies and great shots of the birds and beaches! A little too cold to go wading, though!
Amazing shots.
Great shots
Hope you have a fantastic spring.
Worth a Thousand Words
Pleasurable thank you for sharing.
23 inches!! We had 34...Hard to believe that it's almost gone..We've been very lucky so far..no ice. Beautiful coastal photos..I love the calming effect of the water...Thanks for sharing..
Thanks for the map - I was just wondering which part of the coast it was and then I scrolled down to the map. :-)
you have nice sky photos in there, i like the most the photo with sun's reflection. thanks for the visit.
Lovely photos ! I love the cry of the Loons on the lake in our cottage country as it echos through out the valleys it is so beautiful ! , Thanks for sharing , have good day !
A pretty place! My sister and her family used to go to Ocean City quite frequently when they lived in Maryland.
Beautiful images!
Those sky shots sure are appealing!
Beautiful shots, nothing like the ocean and blue sky coming together to lift spirits and make great photographs.
I'm enjoying these ocean and beach photos. You always manage to see lots of birds.
Lovely seashore photos! Glad your snow is melting.
Wonderful sky shots Eileen with the shining sun and reflections.
Great set of photos, Eileen.
I enjoyed the clear blue skies in each photo - nicely done.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Hello Eileen, I'm all for finding JOY in the little things ;-) That makes life so much nicer doesn't it? Your photos are lovely and I always enjoy waterfront scenes. It looks like a very interesting place to visit. Have a wonderful weekend, xx
Great views, very nice and interesting!
Looks like a beautiful location, and great sky shots!!
A lovely place to holiday, wonderful frames of sky!
Lovely images all!!
'Fruit of the loons under there'
Somehow, that just popped into my head!

Wonderful sky shots and sea views, Eileen, must have been a great experience. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Very nice. Have a wonderful weekend.
The air looks so crisp and clear. The photo of the sun is stunning! Thank you and have a grand weekend!
Lovely pictures! Did not know there were great birds there! Been there once, a few years ago... but it was for R&R with cross stitching. I had not really started birding. Any beach is a good destination to me!
Ocean City is beautiful! Love all your gorgeous shots, especially that sky photo with the seawall going away from you! I will be glad for an early spring, for all my dear friends in colder climes. That will be me next winter...in colder climes! :-)
Do you believe me if I say that even if I was born in a sea city - Genoa - and I love sea so much, it's a part of me and of my life, I've never seen the Ocean by real , and I love it .... probably even more !
Thank you for all this beauty, dearest Eileen, your photographs are always so gorgeous !
May your weekend be filled with joy and wonder, dearest friend
sending love and so dear hugs to you
Dany
Beautiful images! Have a nice weekend:)
i have never been but would love to visit!!! you sure did make that fence pretty!!!
Beautiful view,
and nice birds.
Happy weekend.
it's been years since i've visited ocean city. your photos brings back great memories. i hope to visit soon...perhaps i late spring.
awww the wharf and rocks remind me of places I've been to here in NZ - thanks for the beautiful photos :-)
Wow, very nice ! I really like the first photo !
HI Eileen, You have some beautiful sky shots there. Love the Brant Geese and the loons as well. I do have to add that I would have been over the moon to see a dolphin. Sorry I've missed many weeks of your critter meme. I just can't seem to catch up but I'll try again tomorrow. Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello Eileen! Wonderful shots....I love the one of the sun reflecting on the water and all those lovely 'stars'! Hey, were you planning on linking that 'beautiful' photo quote to my Sunday Short & Sweet this week....it qualifies! Do you think it would be better for me to create a linky?
Beautiful photos! The sky goes on forever up there.
I've been there and it is very scenic! Very nice photos...
Very nice, Eileen! I love the loons and the brant! I haven't seen any brant in awhile.
Wonderful to see these skies. Bright and beautiful cloud formations and wildlife :-)
Great shots, as usual!
And those with the reflex of the sun... My favorites!
Great work, Eileen!
Happy Sunday, to you and yours!
Ana
Lovely views of the sky and the ocean! Enjoy your Sunday, Eileen!
Beautiful images! My goats are in agreement with the groundhog. They have started shedding their under coats.
Eillen, vim avisar que acabou de entrar um céu teu lá! Obrigada! Lindo dia! bjs, chica
