Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads.
OK, one last group of photos from our vacation last month! Last weekend, I shared some beach photos from the ocean side of Assateague Island National Seashore. While we were there (a lovely place), we also went kayaking on the bay side of the barrier island, among the salt marshes, and saw the famous wild horses plus other wildlife, too.
Look carefully at this first pic (click to enlarge) - there were 2 mares, 1 stallion, and a newborn foal, less than 24 hours old! It is just standing up in this photo - we also saw it running around its mom for the first time!

| We paddled right past many wild horses, munching on marsh grasses |

| The sky cleared for a while - lovely, warm day! |

Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!
I enjoyed your beautiful photos of a lovely place. It's amazing to see horses running free, isn't it? How lucky you were to see a newborn foal. I saw wild horses at Cumberland Island, Georgia, and will never forget the experience.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, I didn't know there were wild horses in GA, too - yes, they are incredible!
DeleteSuch great pictures! I haven't been kayaking in ages, but I'd love to go again. I don't think my husband has ever been (all my kayaking was done in my single days), so I might have to talk him into it.
ReplyDeleteYes! You should! And the kids, too! These are actually our sons kayaks that we borrowed for the week - we all love kayaking.
DeleteLovely, lovely. I want to go there, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful place, Anne - I think you'll have to make a trip to the East coast while we plan one to the West coast! You have a place to stay :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful spot. I don't think I've ever seen wild horses. I immediately thought of Misty of Chincoteague when I saw your post, maybe that's near by, or a fictional place, I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteYes, Chincoteague Island is just south of Assateague - they are the same wild horses :)
DeleteWhat a fun way to travel. The scenery is awesome.
