baltimoresun.com - Bay & Environment: Images of the bay

A backyard full of trash. Three adorable golden retrievers who love to swim in the bay but suffer from many ear infections as a result. Kids on canoe trips who worry about their future and a sweet little girl, looking out at a farm just as the light is perfect.

These are the images that the Chesapeake Bay Foundation wants the U.S. Senators to see as they debate the Farm Bill - legislation that is the most recent great hope for bringing millions of dollars in federal money to help clean up the bay.

The foundation asked the general public for photos of the bay, with captions on what makes it special, and has posted them here. You can post your own photos on the Web site. Just put your cursor on the photo to read the caption.

CBF will send the photos to Senators as postcards...the farm bill is scheduled for markup mid-September.

About the bloggers

Rona Kobell reports on the Chesapeake Bay, and in her seven years with The Sun, she's visited clam farms in Virginia, a peeler pen on Taylors Island and a small market on Smith Island that serves what many people consider the best crab cake in the world (to judge for yourself, head to the Drum Point Market in Tylerton). Rona enjoys hanging out with her husband and daughter.

Tom Pelton writes about the environment and has been at The Sun for 10 years. He lives in the city with his wife, two daughters, and an exotic ecosystem that involves a cat, hamsters, hermit crabs, cacti, running shoes, drums, guitar, violins, mild cheeses and strong opinions.

Tim Wheeler writes about growth and base-realignment for The Sun. A reporter and editor here since 1985, the West Virginia native has spent most of his adult life around the bay. He lives in Catonsville, one of Baltimore's older, walkable suburbs.
