Another hot and humid day. Drove to end of island to try out our new zoom lens. Only one lonely osprey sitting on a pylon. I walked around looking for my photo of day. This is all I could come up with Patterns


Another beautiful sunset

Gray day today

Dinner at friends celebrating 105 years of marriage




Drove to Wanchese, a nearby fishing village to see if we could find a wooden bowl at a local shop. They did not have the bowl we wanted but did get a couple of good photos. The shop did have some fishing floats for sale for 150 dollars. We still have two floats that we bought in Japan years ago. Guess we should have bought more than 2.


We then headed to Jockey Ridge State Park to check out the sand dunes. We only walked a bit on the trail because it was just too windy the park has the tallest active sand dune system in the eastern United States

Then we headed to the Wright Brothers National Memorial

Forecasters predicted rain around 8 pm tonight so figured there would not be much of a sunset so we went around 5:30

Beautiful sky this morning. Mother Nature is amazing. We are so lucky to be able see such beautiful sunrises and sunsets and wildlife

Happy Valentine’s Day. Just a bit of ice left on the lake

Surprised to see so much water coming over the falls

Monster in the forest protecting the path

Thursday afternoon on the Bay




Brrr. 37 degrees with 22 mph winds. Was out running errands and decided to stop at Matapeake. Jumped out of car and took a couple of photos Now I am trying to warm up

On my morning walk one of my friends mentioned Matapeake Beach. I have been to the fishing pier numerous times but I think I have only been to beach once and that was a long time ago. It’s 46 degrees so no ice or snow but I did get a couple of good pictures



Decided to go to Matapeake Pier to see if I could get any pictures of ice since it’s still below freezing the Bay Bridge is off in the distance
