The No Nikon Sunset.

March 6, 2013

There is a certain spot in Nags Head behind the Sugar Creek Restaurant that I occasionally pass on my way home from destinations further up the beach road. If I drive by this spot in the middle of the morning or early afternoon, I’m fine. No biggie.  I barely give it a second glance.

However. If I happen to drive by at sunset? 

I’m a goner.

I get on the phone and text Steve my usual line, “Honey, I’ve been detoured by a sunset.” 

Translated that means, “Dinner is going to be late.”

The only sad part about this whole thing is that I have never once passed this place at sunset and had my Nikon with me. Although I always carry my 10-year old, purse camera along, it has its limitations. Someday I WILL accomplish this one particular photographic feat in my life—I will pass Sweet Water at sunset accompanied by my Nikon.

But I guess in the long run, it doesn’t really matter all that much because any day that lets me capture a sunset is a good day, indeed.

    This again confirms what I have always thought … I could retire at the beach and be one happy woman!

    speaking of Nags Head… do you know if Tricia has been listed for new lungs yet?

      Mrs. Pam,

      I follow Nathan on Twitter and to my knowledge, she has not been listed. She had a procedure a few days ago to (hopefully) fix an issue she was having but it didn’t turn out the way Nathan hoped. Such a sweet couple and family.

    Your purse camera does you proud or vice versa. Thank you – I needed to see the sea this morning. Still giggly about your NEWS. Just think of the photos you will be taking about 7 months or so. Hee hee!
