Emma Colley's Random Travels

Emma Colley's Random Travels

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

Our last day in Ocean City, we watched the sunrise on the beach in front of our hotel. 



Me and my shadow, hubby  😊😊




Last look at the sunrise, we are checking out and heading to Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware and then home.




We had to stop at the Indian River Inlet for a look at the winter ducks, we saw one Long-tailed Duck along with some Bufflehead ducks and lots of gulls and Common Loon.


A group of Bufflehead ducks at the Indian River Inlet. 




One drive around Bombay Hook NWR wildlife drive, we saw deer, lots of Geese, Bald Eagles, Mute Swans, various ducks and Egrets.

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

After spending the night in Cambridge Maryland, we drove a loop home with a stop at the Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. 



Birdwatching is one of my favorite hobbies, Bombay Hook NWR is a great place for seeing different bird species.  Below are the Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Glossy Ibis and the American Avocets. 



Another look at the American Avocets. 



Below are shorebirds, one is the Dowitcher. 



It is rare to see a Clapper Rail out in the open, on this day we saw two young Clapper Rails.








The Clapper Rail running across the mud toward a Great Blue Heron. 




A few Mute Swans with the Egrets.

A Black-necked Stilt.

Delaware shore scenes

  I am linking up with Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend 

It is Memorial Day weekend, I want to say thank you to our Veterans and our soldiers who risk their lives for us to be safe. Have a happy holiday weekend!

These are some scenes from our visit to the Delaware shore last weekend. You can click on the images for larger viewing.


Slaughter Beach, Delaware


Prime Hook NWR, Delaware




A pretty Pink lady Slipper, a rare sighting for us. This spot along the trail had a lot of blooms.


A view of the Prime Hook wetlands.



Dover, Delaware is home to the AFB and sadly known as the largest military mortuary. Those soldiers killed overseas are brought to Dover before being transferred to family.  If you like old military airplanes there is also a Air Mobility Command museum for the public to enjoy.

It was a great weekend getaway. We visited various beaches and wildlife refuges on the Delaware coast.

I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend.  I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.  

 Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comments. Thanks for stopping by to see my post and thanks to Linses Cotton for hosting Scenic Weekends.
