Friday night, my camera and I sallied forth on the boardwalk that runs along the waterfront near the downtown area of Manteo.
We saw boats and flowers and grass and beauty of so many varieties. We saw a sun shining and a sun setting. We wound our way around the curves and corners of the boardwalk, reveling in the unmistakable, inimitable smells and sights and sounds of life near water. We eventually ended up at the front door of a lovely hotel that was so lovingly lit, so serene, and oh so welcoming.
I wanted to escort my camera right through the front door and be absorbed by the quaint, antique splendor of that shining place. But instead my camera and I said our good byes to the hotel, to the boardwalk, and to the boardwalk’s beauty and we drove home together–happy and content and full of the pictures of a splendid, lovely, dying day.
I really need to stop reading your blog. I’ve been having dreams ( yes more than one) about my family coming to visit your family and discussing ministry stuff. 🙂
Teresa, well, if you’re ever in the area, drop us an email. We’re always glad to discuss ministry stuff!
You know I have been in countdown mode since forever! I just cannot wait to get there 🙂
Countdown-ing mode, right along with ya!
You do realize that you HAVE to take Susan and me here, right? Although now you’ve thrown down some shots that we just might not be able to match… 0_o
Pam, Let me just say I’m not going to lose a whole lot of sleep over whether or not you and Susan can “match” my photos. 🙂 But I must say, that is a lovely place to shoot if you’re gonna shoot!
Oh Becky, you are truly blessed with a photographers eye!
Thanks so much, Jojy. One of my great joys of going anywhere and seeing anything is to try and find where the picture is hiding. And there is always a picture hiding!
I love the pictures and I have to agree with the other commenters they look very pretty.
Chase, thanks so much; I appreciate you stopping by!
What pretty photographs! Looks like a great place to walk around. 🙂
Sarah, I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. And yes, it is a GREAT place for an evening stroll. (And photoshoot.)
Prize winning photos, every one – especially the low-light photos. You do have the magic touch.
Fred, you are always so kind with your compliments; I’m just thankful I have someone to enjoy the photos I take!
One of your readers said you have a “Photographer’s Eye” – No one could have said it better!
