My World: A Beach Walk

January 25, 2011

Walking on the beach in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. December 20, 2010.

When Betsy and I arrived at Ocean Isle Beach in December, we were treated to a wonderful sunset which we enjoyed from the balcony of our room.  As the glow started to fade from the sky, I noticed a solitary figure walking along the beach.  I snapped this picture and couldn’t help thinking that I was watching a person alone with his thoughts in a beautiful, majestic world.

Watery Wednesday #121: Ocean Isle Pier

January 5, 2011

Under the pier at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. December 21, 2010.

This is my post for Watery Wednesday.  To see more of our beautiful watery world, or to join and post your own pictures to share, click HERE.

One morning while at Ocean Isle Beach last month I took a walk down the beach.  I walked to the pier, and since the tide was out, I walked under the pier.  I found the piles and supports of the pier to be interesting, and the waves coming up and breaking between the piles caused some fascinating reflections.

My World: A Foggy Morning at the Beach

January 4, 2011

Ocean Isle Beach pier, Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. December 22, 2010.

We woke up on our second morning at Ocean Isle Beach to a very foggy scene.  When we went out to the balcony of our room it was difficult to tell where the sky ended and the ocean began.  But we could still see the pier, which was a little way down the beach from the inn where we were staying.

I usually think of bright sunny skies when I think of the beach, but there still is a certain beauty to a deserted beach on a dreary, foggy morning.

Scenic Sunday: Sunrise at Ocean Isle Beach

January 2, 2011

Sunrise at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. December 23, 2010.

This is my post for the Scenic Sunday meme, which shares beautiful scenes from around the world.  To see more Scenic Sunday posts, or to join and show your own pictures, click HERE.

We were treated to a spectacular sunrise on our last morning at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.  We had an ocean view room at the Islander Inn, and the sun came  up just about opposite our balcony.  The rising sun seems like an appropriate first post for the new year, and so I share it with you.

Scenic Sunday #128: Ocean Isle Beach

December 26, 2010

Sunset on Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. December 20, 2010.

This is my post for the Scenic Sunday meme, which shares beautiful scenes from around the world.  To see more Scenic Sunday posts, or to join and show your own pictures, click HERE.

After the bitterly cold weather we had a few weeks ago, Betsy and I decided we needed a change.  So when we learned that our favorite inn at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, had a special deal on ocean view rooms for December, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the beach and have some delicious seafood.

Two of our favorite restaurants were closed for the season, but that just gave us an excuse to try some places that we hadn’t visited before.  Is it my imagination or is seafood really so much better-tasting at the seashore?

We arrived at Ocean Isle Beach late Monday afternoon, December 20, to be greeted by this beautiful sight from the balcony of our room.  This alone made the trip worth while, but over the next two days we were to find several other reasons to be thankful that we made the trip.

Skywatch Friday: Morning Clouds over the Atlantic

November 12, 2010

Morning clouds over the Atlantic, Ormond Beach, Florida. August 5, 2009.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world.  To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.

On Wednesday I posted a picture taken looking out to sea from Ormond Beach, Florida (that picture can be seen by clicking HERE). I posted that picture because of the golden pink color of the water as the sun came up.

Turning to my right while on the balcony and looking down the beach, I got this picture.  I like the color of the clouds in this view.

Scenic Sunday # 116: Golden Sunrise

October 3, 2010

Sunrise at Ormond Beach, Florida. August 5, 2009.

This is my post for the Scenic Sunday meme, which shares beautiful scenes from around the world.  To see more Scenic Sunday posts, or to join and show your own pictures, click HERE.

We celebrated Betsy’s birthday last year by going to Ormond Beach, Florida.  We had a room that overlooked the ocean and got up early on the day of Betsy’s birthday to see the sunrise.  The sea was calm, and just before the sun popped out of the clouds offshore, the water took on a golden sheen.

All in all it was a great start to a special day for my special girl.

Scenic Sunday #105: Ocean Isle Beach

Moon over Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. May 8, 2009.

Most people think of sea, sand and surf when they think of the beach.  But when Betsy and I go to Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, if we’re lucky, we can think of surf, clear night skies, and a moon over the sea.

When we go to the beach we hope for lots of sunshine and good weather.  But even when the weather doesn’t always cooperate the beach can be beautiful.  I got this picture of a storm coming ashore at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina.

Watery Wednesday #89: Enjoying the Beach

May 26, 2010

Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.

This is my post for Watery Wednesday.  To see more of our beautiful watery world, or to join and post your own pictures to share, click HERE.

One of the nice things about going to the beach in May is that we often have the place to ourselves.  A walk along the beach allows us to enjoy sand, blue skies, blue seas and white caps.  Not much could be better than that.
