Sunset Beach, NC

| What a lovely day! It could not have been more beautiful. On weekends in winter I meet more people. They are curious about why I pull a cart with containers, and particularly curious when I photograph animals on the beach at the end of the walk. Note: the point and shoot camera that I use on the beach is not capable of distance shots, resulting in poor bird photos. Because I frequently ruin cameras with sand, I cannot take my Nikon to the beach. |
