Hi! I just got back from a great week at the beach. Every summer my husband and I drive down to one of our favorite places — the Outer Banks, NC.
We’ve been staying on Hatteras Island every summer since 1998. We used to go with a group of friends, which shifted to a different group, which eventually ended up being just the two of us. It started getting too hard to work with everybody’s schedules. That’s fine with us!
We had a relaxing week reading on the beach, eating great food, and enjoying the sunset from our soundfront rental home. We had great weather, too. While quite a few nasty thunderstorms rolled through, none kept us indoors all day. I also fit in a lot of running and a couple bike rides (more on that later).
For now, just enjoy some of my favorite photos!
75* + 100% humidity = foggy camera lens
This is not a black and white photo!
I love the sunsets. See a few more over here.

Amazing sky shots! The second photo with the sun flare is stunning.
The one with storm cloud is wonderful!
Love the shot of the storm coming in. Fabulous!
what stunning shots of the sky and the sea. i love the one with the para sailors (?) against the background.
Nice pictures, the ‘not a black and white’ one is amazing!
Whoah! that cloud and ocean shot is so dramatic! That’s how I see it – intense!
That dark cloud photo is stunning! What a terrific set! Really. The last one makes me wish I had my feet in the sand with a cold fruity drink!
Great photos! I love the Outer Banks.
Ohh those are really cool!!
The foggy lens shot is brilliant! The sunsets are stunning, though! Beautiful shots.
That thundercloud is brilliant!
Breathtaking pics! I can see why that would be your happy place 🙂
Oooooh, love the Outer Banks. These make me miss NC.
The foggy lens pic is especially great.
Beach photos are a fave of mine and yours are all stunning and amazing! I’m especially fond of the first one with the lighthouse.
The photos are gorgeous! I’m missing Summer badly here at the moment.
wow…I love the one that looks black and white…
