Flowers & Trees

I observed some different flowers & trees growing in the sandy soil of southeastern NC. Lots of pine trees which of course we have in PA. Loved the palm trees with the trunk decoration, & was facinated by the spanish moss hanging so gracefully.

More from Ocean Isle Beach

The first photo shows my nephew, Anthony, enjoying a game of hide & seek with his cousins. Who would think to look way up in the balcony! Number 2 is a shot of flowers potted along the river walk in Wilmington, NC. Wilmington is about an hours drive from OIB & proudly houses the Battleship North Carolina, which is open for visitors - that is a story for another post. The last are the houses to our front left side on a moonlit night. We were lucky enough to enjoy a full moon during our stay.

A month later.................

It's been awhile since I posted & what a busy time! Spent a week at a beautiful beach in southern North Carolina. What a treat! Vacation was with my rather large family - I think I mentioned before there are 10 of us. My brothers were not able to join us because of work obligations, but my sister-in-laws & children were present. Mom went along too. This 80 year old was looking for people to go to the beach at 6 AM on most mornings! I had lots of time for reading & photography since I had no household chores to perform. We rented a rather large beach house & the rest of the family graciously cooked & did dishes. Unfortunately real life returns with it's ratrace of job, bills, & household chores. Please enjoy some photos while I remember.
