Concern


Our little female chihuahua, Lupe, has badly clouded eyes. She is being treated by Dr. Manning at Bostic Veterinary Hospital. Her eyes are improving and she receives eye drops three times a day. She's real good about getting her drops and sometimes curiosity gets the better of the rest of the crew.

Labor Day Weekend, Kiptopeke


The last summer weekend  at the waters of the lower Chesapeake Bay. Placid and tranquil.

In December 1948, nine McCloskey ships were partially sunk to form a ferry breakwater off the coast of Kiptopeke Beach, Virginia.

After the construction of the Chesepeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, the ferry was put out of business; however, the breakwater still protects the beach and provides a home for coastal fish and birds.
