Wildflowers – Blooming fall color at Pungo

Wildflowers were still in bloom at Pungo last week. Believe it or not, I was up at daybreak and got photos of these gorgeous morning glories. Although there were morning glories of all colors blooming near the road, my favs were the purple ones and that is what I photographed.  Some folks don’t like them because […]

Bears – Pocosin National Wildlife Refuge – Pungo

Bears, bears, bears! Last week Steve and I decided to do our RV shakedown trip in an area where I would be able to photograph wildlife.  More specifically, I wanted to be able to take photos of bears. Our RV site was about 10 miles from the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Center – Pungo Unit. Pungo […]

Camping – RV Shakedown Trip – Finally

Our RV shakedown “camping”  trip is FINALLY behind us. Why do I have the word “camping” in quotes?  Saying that I was camping makes me smile. It doesn’t seem like camping when you are actually in a tiny home. Steve and I camped in a tent for the first fifteen or so years of our […]

USS Zumwalt – newest guided missile destroyer

USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) is a guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy. I have a LOT of photos from our June trip to Maine that I still haven’t processed or even looked at since we got home. The Zumwalt is complete and has left Bath Iron Works, I thought this would be a great time […]

Whelk Sea Shell Photo Fix – Presto Chango

I photographed this Whelk sea shell the other day while I was playing around with my camera. Was I at the beach??  Nope – I took this while sitting in my living room. There’s a big bowl of shells on the coffee table and I was playing with using a higher iso on my new Nikon […]

Cedar Island Calm After Hurricane Hermine…

Hurricane Hermine has been with us for the last 17 days!! Yep, 17 days ago, we started hearing about it. So far, it has had many names. It has been a tropical wave, tropical depression nine, category one hurricane Hermine, tropical storm and now a post-tropical storm and/or cyclone (I have heard it called both).  The storm passed […]

Sea Turtles of Emerald Isle, NC

The sea turtles of Emerald Isle have fascinated me since we moved to North Carolina. This year there was a record of 51 nests found on EI. Turtle programs are found from Florida to North Carolina.  I will begin this post by saying that I don’t have first-hand knowledge of this program. The only Loggerhead […]

Male Blue Grosbeak – First Time Sighting…

Last week, I took this photo of a male Blue Grosbeak at Pungo Lake, NC. Mr. B and I had taken a drive to the lake in search of bears for me to photograph. It really wasn’t a great day for finding a bear and  I knew that going in, but you never know. BTW, […]
