A Day On The OBX

We managed to escape to Kill Devil Hills, NC for a quick 3-day recharging of our sadly depleted solar batteries, a couple of weekends ago. The photos were simply fun targets of opportunity gathered during a long beach walk. It was therapeutic to just shoot birds, waves and sky, as I started doing back in 1985. The banner above is a flock of southbound pelicans. Stay tuned for a future post or two devoted entirely to these magnificent birds.

(No, that is not an east side gang sign [Maris] is flashing; just a harmless little shadow puppet.)

Rough surf-fishing, today. All the fish that were caught had bruises.

Two more pelicans, floating on a strong southerly breeze of at least 20-25 knots.

These guys were very excited to show each other their necks. Sparring? I dunno.

My kind of seagull!

We could have watched waves like this all day. Oh wait - we did watch waves like this all day.

Sooooooooo hard to leave...

But, real life and Fall awaited us back in Maryland. Plenty more to come, but please bear with me - we are experiencing some major technical difficulties.
