December 31st at the Outer Banks.....

I woke up this morning in Kitty Hawk, NC.

North of Kitty Hawk, I drove thru Duck and

saw these images below.....click to enlarge...

...not often you see snow and ice

at the Outer Banks.

Happy New Years!

Until next time.....

December 26......

It's the day after christmas. It's snowing

in Wilmington, NC. Graycie is enjoying

her first snow.......

.......happy holidays!

Until next time.......

From Virginia to Florida....

With my new job, I travel a lot......

A LOT. I cover roughly Williamsburg,

Virginia down to Amelia Island Florida.

This past week, I hit every store I have

(39) in between. I always carry my

camera though I rarely have the time

to take pictures. Occasionally, I do remember

that I have the camera with me and grab

a few shots. Below are some of them....

The Outer Banks....Kitty Hawk

Suffolk, Virginia....beautiful fall colors here..

....we all know this place....

.....as I get better with my time

management, I'll get more pictures up.

There's a lot of cool things to see in this area.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Until next time........

....rest in peace, Malcolms.....

Mid to late September at the beach....

....first things first: it's STILL really

nice here. If you have the chance, this,

to me, is one of the best times of the year

to come to the coast. The water, still

VERY warm and the air is a bit cool

though still warm enough to enjoy a

day at the beach.

Lately, there has been a lot of

rough surf (rip's have been bad for

the past week or so...) but a bad day

at the beach is still better than a

good day at work.....below are

pictures from the past week......I

hear there was a hurricane somewhere

out in the Atlantic (plus some lunar

activity..) that caused the unusually

high surf action.....click to enlarge.....

......until next time......

September morning.....

....until next time.....

September......

It's been roughly 3 years since I

moved to Wilmington. Three YEARS.

Before I moved here, I used to

vacation a lot around Morehead

City and I always loved September

at the beach. The crowds were gone,

the air was cool, the water was still

WAY warm and the rooms were

half price! It is an absolutely great

time of the year here at the beach.

Below are some pictures I've taken

around the area the past few weeks.....

First: Fort Fisher

I ran out to Fort Fisher a few days ago...more

like a week ago.....I discovered that at the end

of the road, there is a jetty that one can walk

across......with decent shoes, mind you, it is

very slippery....... Click to enlarge....

...it will take you to an island! I did'nt

know this existed until last week.

I did not make it to the island on

this day but I will......

Next.....Carolina Beach.

We went today, after work. Cool air,

warm water, no crowds.......excellent

conditions.....click to enlarge.

...and finally, home sweet home.

Below are pictures from the backyard.

The state port is visible from the backyard.

You can see a distant shot and a zoom

of a ship being serviced at the port....

...and last but not least.....

The obligitory cat picture of

the week......

Beetlejuice in the backyard.......

...until next time.....

Hurricane Earl...part 2....Now with Video!

After work, I ran to the

beach for further updates.

First stop.......

Carolina Beach.

Big ass waves...rough surf.

Below are the pictures....

Next stop...Kure Beach Pier.....

click to enlarge.....

...and then....

Fort Fisher.....

After coming home, I stayed

awake until roughly 10 pm.....

it never even rained here.

Below are a few videos I

grabbed while at the beach.....

...enjoy.
