When I was growing up this gentrified street was a mess of GIs, prostitutes and street hustlers - not fountains and flower pots. Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC

My wife took her sister on a celebratory trip after she finished her cancer treatments. While touring the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye, Wonder Woman captured these snaps and sent them to me.
I rode by this house a thousand times on my bicycle before ever stopping to realize how cool it looks. Located on River Road, near Wade, NC on a farm bordering the Cape Fear River.

I’m curious to see how many of you well-traveled types can identify the location of the mural.

If you are ever in Norfolk, VA, stop by the Zoological Park and see this little guy. You can walk right through the red panda exhibit, where he lives in a huge oak tree and looks down at visitors all day.

Last year, Wonder Woman took her sister on a trip to Scotland to celebrate her recovery from cancer. They toured the Isle of Skye and sent me this wonderful sunset picture. Enjoy.

Wonder Woman had to cut her planned run short - because her water bottles froze in the 15-degree temperature. Except she never calls them water bottles. It’s always “my hydration” She doesn’t eat while training either. She follows her “nutrition plan.”

At certain times of the year, because of the way the barriers islands off the NC coast are positioned, you can catch the sunrise and the sunset in the Atlantic Ocean. This is a sunrise at Kure Beach.

Another day ends as the sun sets over beautiful North Carolina. One less day of the present political nightmare to get through.

I spend a lot of time on my deck. Through the years, I’ve gotten to know many of the tree rats who live in the massive old oak trees in my back yard.

Kure Beach Pier on one of NC’s many barrier islands. In the spring, when the blue fish are running, it’s so crowded with people that it’s difficult to find a spot. In the winter, at dawn is a different story.

When you plan a photography trip and the weather robs you of your golden hour opportunities, you can resort to getting shots like this. Wilmington, NC

This morning’s sunrise comes to you from Carolina Beach, located on a barrier island near Wilmington.

Carolina sunrise. Good morning, y’all.

The pier at Avon on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, just before dawn.

It occasionally gets pretty damn cold in NC as evidenced by this frozen fountain. It might even snow this weekend for the first time in four or five years.
