Shingle.

Most of the Outer Banks beaches are composed uniformly of very fine golden sand. Occasionally the wind and surf will scour and deposit small stretches of sturdier stuff, like these pea-sized pebbles and polished bits of shell.

And thus ends my OBX excursion – a near perfect day in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Today I offer 1 impressionist seascape, 1 pebbly beach, 3 black and white experiments, 4 sanderlings and 1 stray gull, and 1 drive-through liquor store. 

Today in Things I Saw at OBX: 1 impressionist seascape, 1 Weather Bureau signal flag, 1 trawler hull, 41 floats, and 1 elaborate purple martin house.

Tomorrow: Sanderlings!
