I
live in the triangle area of NC which is very developed so it's nice to
see parts of the state which are still relatively rural.
Since I wasn't the driver I clicked all along the way.
The next shot has a fighter plane on a stand outside the entrance to a military base.
The road shots are a mix of ones I took on the way to the beach as well as on the way home.
The overcast sky was on the way there and the blue sky with clouds were on the way home.
The rest of the shots were taken at Atlantic Beach, NC.
I posted a lot of shots from this short vacation last week but still have many to choose from.
It's still so hot that the shots I'm taking at home are pretty limited as I don't feel like walking in the heat.
Although it was also hot at the beach there were nice sea breezes.
The water temperature was good which is always nice.
Even wading in to get my feet and knees wet cooled me off.
I can't believe how many shots I took of the sky on this trip.
I had a long skywatch post and still have a ton I haven't used. The shot below is of my two sisters.
Even without any storms while I was there, we had a variety of clouds to look at.
The ocean was a vivid blue too.
The white in the breakers and the blue ocean mimic the white clouds and blue sky.
The two people in the shot below are Bill and our adult child.
It amazed me how close the willets got to people.
I was probably a mile or more away from the pier when I shot it standing on the porch at the cottage.
The gull alternated between walking along the shore and flying out for a spot of fishing.
The last shot is one I took after dropping a family member off at the airport.

those clouds are so wonderful to look at. I think, I too would be taking shots of the sky.
have a great day.
Waking up to that spectacular water view during your holiday must have been heaven. I am impressed that your camera/lens was able to capture the pier so well at such a distance. One of my favorite shots is the girl in red walking through the grasses towards the shore. :)
You know I love a good roadtrip -- and I feel like I was a passenger right along with you on this one.... some of it really brought back memories of our trip up East Coast a couple years ago... .
Soothing and lovely!
have a great week ahead.
Great skies, but I especially like the ocean side views. So peaceful and contemplative.
Fantastic photographs, beautiful clouds in the sky. I am greeting
Carver, I welcome you very warmly.
Today I came back from holiday ...
Your photos are lovely.
I am delighted with them.

So pretty! Perfect place to head for when it's hot outside. I would love to feel a sea breeze right now.
The beach scenes are so lovely. Cool to see those willets. I can understand taking so many photos.
looks like you had lots of fun. many great pictures. i'm sure the beach water was very cool compared to the heatwave, :) have a great night~
Beach and sky shots are always delightful !
c'est agréable ces plages désertes et si sauvages
I'd love to live there / it's so beautiful! Your shots are gorgeous, especially those big blue skies.
I feel I could just walk into your pictures, throw off the shoes and wade through the beautiful cool wate.r
Gorgeous photos! What a wonderful vacation! And what a lovely area to call home!
We are not getting to go this year because we are flying to Seattle to our son out there. Your photos are wonderful. The one of the 2 chairs down by the water is my kind of picture...Your skies shots are magical in their beauty. I would have been clicking away just like you. genie
That was a great beach. But not much people. Strange! I like the birds coming sp close. :)
