We’ve had the Little Prince and Heir Apparent staying with us for the past week. As a true Son of the South, I decided my half yankee grandson needed to experience a North Carolina beach, which in my opinion, are among the best in the country. So we’re spending a little time on Oak Island this week.
Here are a few pictures from the last few days. The stripe on the pine tree is from a lightening strike that happened about 20 feet from where I was standing. The aftermath required a change of shorts. And yes, there are real alligators in some of the marshes nearby.
Under the heading “Real Characters”, the lady below is right up there:
Loved the pictures. North Caroline beaches are stunning. Still, I’m a Jersey girl and I miss the Pine Barrens, the dunes, the marshes, the beaches, the air, the light, the sounds of the sea and yes, walking the boards. Sigh, it has been too long since we have gone “down the shore”.
