My OBX Adventure, Chapter Three, in which I present 1 impressionist seascape, 3 assorted shore birds, 1 reedy marsh, and 3 bros on a boat.

All photos in today’s set were taken at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and on Roanoke Island, in eastern North Carolina’s Outer Banks. 

In today’s OBX installment, I present 1 impressionistic seascape, 1 saltwater fly fisherman, 2 squabbling ibises, 1 seashell vignette, and 1 red-winged blackbird.

OBX is the ubiquitous call sign for the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where all of these photos were taken. 

I left home early this morning, a few hours before sunrise, and drove to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, trying to get as much beach time and shore birding as possible before decamping for Arizona.

Today’s photo installment includes 1 impressionistic seascape, 1 lighthouse, and 12 willets. All of these were taken today at the Coquina Beach and Bodie Island, in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

“The ocean ends, like life and vision, at a horizon that is the fault of the curvature of eye and earth, with no proof of true end at all. The ocean seems indefinite. It presents the eye with a line that is an illusion. We linger on its shores, or live on its surfaces, but never have a means of encompassing the whole.”
