Last night I heroically braved the Manteo Mosquitos to go out and take a few pictures. I slathered myself in bug spray and put on long sleeves and long pants and by the time I got done, I was one slathery, sweaty (but non-mosquito bitten) mess.
What we photographers won’t go through for a few pictures.
I especially love this one because it looks like the little bird mama is reading the “No Wake” sign and doing her best to make sure her family complies.
And to close out, here the packets of my photo cards that Sarah took to school yesterday as an end-of-the-year gift for her teachers. So very grateful that the compiling of photo cards does not require mosquito spray.
are those photo cards ones we can buy? I love to send cards to my mother in law and your photos are amazing…Sorry about the mosquitos!
Laura,
Well, yes, I have been “threatening” to make my cards available for sale for several months now but have never gotten myself organized.
However, if you liked some of the cards you saw in the picture I posted, I have more of those, plus a few other similar scenes. They’re $3 each or 5 for $10. (Plus $3 p/h.)
You can write me at smithellaneous(at)yahoo(dot) com if you’d like to order some. Thanks for asking. I’m so happy you liked them!
Beautiful pictures as always and I agree LeeAnne, I would never get anything done, it is such a beautiful place. I love the sea!
Gail,
You and me,
Love the sea.
A rhyme! (Except it should be you and I. Oh well.)
I’m tellin’ ya….again….your pics make me small the salt water! Beautiful, Becky! Yeah…I hate mosquitos, but they love me. Cutter brand repellent has turned out to work best for me, but it’s a lousy excuse for perfume!
Guerrina, actually Cutter is the brand perfume, er, repellent we have. Why don’t they make repellent in a really lovely smell?
Just amazing photos, Becky. You are one talented lady.
Linda
Linda, and you are one sweet lady to say so. Thanks for the encouragement!
Gorgeous shots as always!! I KNOW I would never get anything done besides sightseeing if I lived there. Just sayin’.
LeeAnne, Well, when you actually live here you do actually have to get things (empty garbage, pay bills, buy garbage) or well, you wouldn’t actually be able to live here!
But yeah, I get what you’re saying. It’s a lovely place to call home.
Becky, beautiful snaps as ever. I can almost feel the smell of early-summer nights.
Olivia,
Nothin’ much better than the smell of early-summer nights. Unless it’s living amidst the ancient beauty where YOU live!
