Delmarva 2005 - Pictures

From Reading we drove south through Wilmington Delaware, and part way down the Delmarva peninsula.  We wanted to be more or less near some of the major wildlife refuges, Bombay Hook, Prime Hook and so forth.  These are hotspots for wintering waterfowl.  Though of course, in October, we're a little early for winter.
