The View
W hat is it that makes us passionately crave the water view? Why are we willing to spend hundreds of thousands more for a home on the water versus the identical home without that view? As summer starts to warm up I watch my waterfront view overlooking the West River, off the Chesapeake Bay, majestically change with so many vibrant colors and wildlife. I can’t help but wonder what it is that touches our soul and causes us to pause and take it all in. Yes it’s pretty, but I feel it’s something much more than just pretty. There are many beautiful views such as mountains, valleys, and rolling country hills. However here on the Chesapeake Bay we
have something that I feel is truly special. Something that touches us deep inside because not only is it pretty, it’s the water and everything the water brings to us that is absolutely incredible. It’s the early morning sunrise with fishing boats heading out for the day’s catch and the sunshine and warm summer afternoons filled with energy and excitement. It’s watching osprey fish with incredible aerial acrobatics while keeping a watchful eye on their young, or the great blue heron stalking its prey in the shallows. It’s those evening sunsets with the sky so brilliantly lit. The Bay is like an ever- changing canvas of art constantly providing us with a brand new picture.
