My thanks go out to all the weather people who got this storm right so far and the school officials who believed them.  For more on why southern snow is often not anything like northern snow, click the picture or this link:  http://ow.ly/t2Am8

Our new book, 100 Pictures, 1000 Words, A Crystal Coast Year

If the cold weather is getting you down, try spending some time with 100 of my favorite images of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.  It is much harder than you think to come up with the best images of such a scenic area.  That is specially true when you take over 40,000 pictures a year.  Click this link or the image of the cover to sample our book.  It is a Kindle book, but as this page explains, Kindle reader software works on anything.

Wind and rain arrived as Thanksgiving guests

Along with our family Thanksgiving guests, a big storm has brought us wind and rain.   Hopefully the cold following the low’s exit will leave our fall and winter garden alone. For more details and links to pictures of the garden click the picture or the link  http://ow.ly/rfLK5

Your boat always feels a little smaller

Getting near the ocean shrinks a boat, but fishing the beautiful waters near Bogue Inlet makes you feel alive.  For more, click the picture or the link.  #crystalcoast #boating http://ow.ly/r7Z0R
