    Sushi for two from one of our favorite date night locations

    A rectangular plate holds assorted sushi and rolls, including nigiri and maki with various fillings, like tuna and eel, accompanied by wasabi and ginger. Dining table setup nearby.

    I love the backyard bird show we get year round.

    A vibrant red cardinal perches alertly on a weathered tree stump, surrounded by lush green foliage and blurred brown leaves in the background.

    Watching the sunrise through my bedroom window. Our house borders on a small expanse of wetlands I hope never gets developed.

    Bare trees stand silhouetted against a colorful sunset sky, overlooking a grassy field bordered by a fence and dense woodland, with a wooden stair railing in the foreground.

    Located on a two-lane road leading to the Uwharrie Mountains in Montgomery County, NC, this house has been frozen in time for as long as I can remember.

    Charlotte, the largest city in NC, is surprisingly easy to maneuver on a bike. I was on foot the day I snapped this, but I’ve ridden through there before.

    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.

    An abandoned, weathered house stands covered in overgrown vines, surrounded by a barren field under a cloudy sky. The scene conveys desolation and neglect.

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

    Mural depicts a bearded man with a red beanie, gently holding a small bird on his finger, set against a large city building. Nearby, old brick buildings line the street.

    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.”

    Snow-covered path stretches between tall pine trees, lined evenly on both sides, under a clear sky with a soft sunset glow in the distance.

    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.

    The photo shows a wooden pier extending into the ocean with the sun rising in the distance.

    The image shows a picturesque, calm lake reflecting the blue sky and the treeline on the opposite shore.

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

    Orange and pink clouds stretch across the sky, creating a vibrant sunset over a silhouette of trees on the horizon.

    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.

    A wooden pier extends towards the horizon, lined with lit lamp posts, against a backdrop of a vibrant sunset sky and calm ocean.

    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

    A crystal ball in focus shows winter trees reflected in a lake - in black and white.
