During a recent trip through Mathews, Virginia, I found myself constantly drawn to the unspoiled landscapes that sprawled everywhere. There’s a kind of hush that settles in this part of the world, as if nature itself is speaking with a soft voice, one that invites you to truly listen. The rhythm of life here is more measured, offering countless opportunities for reflection. After leaving the local beach, we took a drive, and as explored the winding coastal roads, another view demanded my attention. Though this time it was framed perfectly by the passenger window. Without a second thought, I withdrew my camera and did my best to capture not just the sights, but its feeling. It was a scene that spoke to the harmony between land and water, between stillness and motion. If you see any images here that aren’t available on Natural Desygns or SM Desygns reach out to me through the Etsy store and I’ll add the image to the correct store.

As I was leaving the beach, I took a moment to pause, turning back for one last look at the serene landscape that had captivated me. The beach house stood proudly, its contrasting against the cool blues of the sky and sea. The sandy shore stretched out before me, dotted with clumps of wild grasses swaying gently in the breeze, their long blades catching the golden afternoon light. And the calm water shimmering with the sun. With a single click, I captured everything that made Bethel Beach special, the harmony between nature and home, the quiet beauty of an untouched shoreline, and the peaceful atmosphere that lingered long after I had gone.
A little later on in the trip, as we explored the charming surroundings of Mathews, Virginia. I found myself gazing out of the passenger window, mesmerized by the stunning scenery unfolding before me. The landscape seemed to shift with every turn, revealing new pockets of natural beauty. With my camera in hand, I caught sight of a breathtaking view that encapsulated the serene beauty.
The shot I captured showcased a striking contrast between two distant shores. Though the foreground shoreline wasn’t entirely visible, the wild grasses in the forefront created a contrast against the cool blue water. Beyond them, lays a distant coastline stretched across the horizon. The water, calm and glassy, serves as a perfect divide between the two landscapes, uniting them in a breathtaking display of nature’s artistry.
