A now sane individual who escaped the world of selling technology, now living in the rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont. I have been at one time or another, a farmer, a director for Apple, and a vice president at Wideopen Networks. I continue to pursue my love of photography and writing. I have great memories of boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking the beaches along North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks where we lived for fifteen years.

Sand keeps moving

Thin strand barrier islands like the Point at Emerald Isle are always on the move and changing.  Read about the ever changing edge of sand that surrounds the Point at Emerald Isle.  You can be sure after today’s wind and rain, it will be different and not like I found it on my trip on March 27.  http://goo.gl/TH2GZ3

An Irresistible Beach

The Point at Emerald Isle is one of my favorite beaches.  With a little hiking you can explore one of the great natural treasures of North Carolina’s coast.  When you leave it, you do so with the knowledge that it will be different the next time you visit.  Even though sand seems to stretch endlessly to the horizon there now, in November 2007, the sands of the Point disappeared only to reappear a year later.  Click the picture or the link for more details, pictures, and a map.  http://ow.ly/v74jW
