Birds Of The Beach

It is almost that time of year. Ugh, I can’t wait. I had to go ahead and post these images. I couldn’t wait. I love to photograph birds at the beach. I love watching how they interact with each other. It’s really quite amusing sometimes. I love watching how they glide over the water so peacefully. I love how free they are. These were taken on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in Southern Shores on my family vacation in 2024.

Morning Waves

Lovely Morning Stroll

I don’t usually include people in my photos. Unless like this one, it does not show faces. However, I love the way this one came out. I love the feel that the human element adds to it. This was not the only couple that I came across while there. They both smiled at me and waved. Maybe it was their kindness that drew me in. Photography for me is about capturing the moments of life that I want to remember. Moments like this one.

Ghost Crabs

These are the most interesting little creatures. From what I have gathered they are called sand crabs. They mainly come out at night to feed. I think it is really interesting how they crawl sideways. They have all of these tiny little holes that they have dug and if you get too close to them and they get scared, they move very fast into them.

These were taken on the vacation I took with my family this past summer in Duck, North Carolina, on the Outer Banks on my daily sunrise walks.

Sunrise At the Outer Banks, Duck, NC # 1

The first sunrise picture I took this year on my vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in Duck. I made it a point every day to be on the beach before the sun came up and watch it rise. Truly amazing and breathtaking. Another reminder that today is a new day!

New Work!

Hello everyone! It’s definitely been a while since I’ve been up here. Life has been a huge whirlwind lately, but, all is good. I definitely have some new photos I want to sharing with you all! Today I am sharing a photo I took at the beach, in Duck, North Carolina on my family vacation this summer. We had a great time! I left a piece of my heart there this time. I hope to get back soon. Enjoy!

Wild Horses (Outer Banks, NC)

Here is an image I took a good while back. This is a picture of wild horses on the Outer Banks, NC. You could get fined really bad if you got too close to them. I remember hearing reports of these beautiful animals being hit by cars. I always prayed it was not any of the ones I saw. I had always heard of these wild horses, but, to see them in person is an awesome opportunity. I’ve come a long ways since first photographing these horses, but, I look to going back out there and trying it again.
