Enjoyed my recent visit to Beaufort, NC

Ponies on the islands across from Beaufort

Beaufort is a great small town by the water. Good anniversary trip. You might fall in love with the area and never leave like us. http://goo.gl/oEdPfp

Sand keeps moving

Temporary Land Bridge at the Point on Emerald Isle

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.

On the road with shiny crocs

Shrimp boats at Clyde Phillips in Swansboro, NC

I have spent over 20 years of my life on the road selling technology products? Has selling products changed since my last trip eight years ago? http://ow.ly/v37mB

Thanks for the on target weather forecasts

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.

Need some distance between you and the holidays?

A rare picture of an almost empty DC beltway

That might especially be the case if you live in the DC area. Try leaving about 1 AM tonight and you might miss the traffic.

If you are going to battle the traffic, make it worthwhile and escape to our beaches, even this time of year they are hard to beat. For more thoughts click the picture or this link: http://ow.ly/rZcIU
