SWF..Sunset

These are shots of the sunset on the last night we were in the Outer Banks. We were at the Pea Island NWR. The sunset was amazing. The Pea Island Wildlife refuge is one of my favorite places in the Outer Banks and I am sure I will be visiting there again.

These closeups are my favorites I love the birds flying across the sky and the tree.

Today 12/2 is my birthday and now I feel one day older than yesterday.

Outer Banks Lighthouses

We visited three different lighthouses, they were Bodie Island which was under renovation, Cape Hatteras and last was the Currituck. I love seeing all the different lighthouses and I can add three my to more collection.

Outer Banks

These are some of the scenes we saw while recently visiting the Outer Banks. Photos included in my mosaic are of the Pea Island NWR header photo , sunset at Pea Island, Wright Brothers National Memorial..see my previous post for more photos, Jockey Ridge State park is home to the tallest and natural sand dune, Bodie Island Lighthouse under renovation until Dec 2010 and Nags Head Woods Preserve.

Jockey Ridge State park had a nice Tracks in the sand trail.

The trail took us along the Roanoke Sound for a short time

The Bodie Island Lighthouse under renovation until Dec. 2010, but the grounds and visitor center are open to the public. They also had a nice nature trail which included a lookout tower over a pond. The pond was great for checking out the birds and ducks.

Nags Head Woods Preserve, five miles of trails in anciet oak forest. A beautiful place.

Outer Banks, North Sarah Fogartya

Hubby and I arrived home yesterday after spending three and half days in the Outer Banks of North Sarah Fogartya. My first time there and I loved it, the waves were wild and rough but the skies were a pretty blue. The road (route 12) was closed earlier due to high water in many places. Once they opened the road we were able to drive all the way down to Cape Hatteras.

We saw a lot of brown pelicans and I loved watching the pelicans as they flew all around us. Pea Island is a great place for birding.

Weekend Reflections

These reflections are from my most recent visit to Atlantic City and the Jersey shore. I was up early for the sunrise (header shot) and we practically had the boardwalk to ourselves. Hard to believe this gorgeous sunrise and we were the only people there to enjoy it.

I think this is what they call the Steel Pier, not what it use to be years ago.

For more wonder reflections visit James at Weekend Reflections

Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great weekend.
