These were taken about two weeks ago from the public landing at Edwards Creek over on the island.
That would be Gwynn's Island for those who aren't familiar with Mathews County's very lovely island loaded with
The day I drove over here, the bridge leading onto the island was open, providing a glorious opportunity to snap some photos of the bridge itself. Next week I'll put up a few of those photos along with an explanation as to why the Gwynn's Island bridge recently made headlines in the Daily Press and the Gazette Journal.
Until then, enjoy these photos, one of which required some

As always, fabulous pictures!
The bridge is very interesting - no rails? Anyway, I appreciate the perspiration put into giving us these perspectives:)
What? You can still do deep knee bends? Wha!! I am so jealous ~
Thanks for the pics, I needed me a little Mathews/Deltaville serenity this morning. I'll have to check out the info on the bridge
How is creek pronounced in VA ? In W.Pa it is crick. I use creek and many others do also, but we may be a minority.
d-Thank you. There's perspiration involved in every possible aspect of my life these days, not even taking a leisurely picture can be easy. I'll put pictures of the bridge itself up on Monday.
CG-I can, but there's a lot of snap-crackle-poppin' going on...

Thomas - We pronounce it creek.
But speaking of regional differences, most people who aren't from around here are astonished at what we call a creek, saying, "That's not a creek, it's a river!" It's all relative. We have a lot of water around here. What you all call crick I would probably call a brook or a stream, I am guessing.
Happy Saturday.
