We took a morning hike in the National Wildlife Preserve. we moved fast to try to outrun the mosquitoes. The photographs of the buntings (male and female) needed rescuing in Topaz Photo AI. There were hundreds of toads. Many baby ones were the size of my little finger nail. There were very few butterflies. I saw a couple of monarchs, cabbage whites, and one least skipper.
In the afternoon we went to have a rest at Assateague Beach. It was nice and peaceful there under our beach umbrella.
There were hundreds of trucks driving out to the island to dump sand for the new beach parking lot. They created a lot of noise. Here is an article about it: In Chincoteague, A Stampede Against Beach Changes – Times Leader. The town’s residents are not happy about it.
A great sight from the Artist!
