One of two inhabited islands in the Chesapeake Bay, Smith Island offers reminders of a simpler past, the natural beauty of the Bay and in the words of photographer Jay Fleming an intimate view of the "Island Life" of the working waterman.
The Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay borders the states of Maryland and Virginia. Along with the state of Delaware, the Delmarva Peninnsula plays a vital role in the migratory path of many species of birds.
Every town, village, hamlet and unincorporated area on the the Eastern Shore has a collection of churches from a variety of faiths. Here is a small collection of some of the small-ish churches on the Eastern Shore that provide a rich and longstanding tradition for many small communities.
Bayscapes? Is that a term? No matter...The Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are at the core of Life on the 'Shore. Here are some photos of sunrises and sunsets on Delmarva that really emit a "vibe" of waking and wandering around the Eastern Shore.
Just a few more images from the Eastern Shore. Some places, people and just artistic views of some vanishing places - both literally and figuratively.
