“This is a visual story of resilience, tradition, and the raw beauty of winter on the Chesapeake Bay during the freeze-up of 2026”
Awesome photos and documentation of the winter of 2026.

In January and February 2026, the Chesapeake Bay transformed into a frozen landscape rarely seen. Prolonged Arctic air locked up tributaries, harbors, and shallow stretches of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, creating both hardship and opportunity across the region. For Chesapeake Bay photographer&nbs

Who will give you a love so true
You can always find me
where the skies are blue”

Another frozen day on the #easternshore of #maryland
Went looking for snow geese today. It’s quite a sight to see. They arrive in the #Chesapeakebay region, in late November and return to their breeding grounds in the Arctic in early March, traveling through New England and Canada before reaching home. Due to their high numbers, they are actually considered overpopulated in some areas, causing damage to their Arctic breeding grounds.
