Wye Island Walkabout

This week, we're traveling with friends from York who are showing us some of their favorites spots on the Chesapeake Bay.  On Tuesday evening, we anchored in Dividing Creek on the Wye East River. It was a beautiful, secluded anchorage where we saw an eagle, many heron, and even a ray in the brackish water.  On Wednesday morning, we walked some of Wye Island's trails.  Here are a few scenes from the island.

This is what's left of a 275 year old holly tree (1/3 its original size).  It must have been damaged in a storm.
