'Hello' from the beautiful North Carolina coast. The beach is so much nicer in the Fall - no crowds, no humidity, and if you pick a really lovely weekend as we just did, fun in the sun tempered by a cool breeze is perfect. 
Have you noticed how the long shadows at this time of year can be a game of their own?
Looking East along Atlantic Beach, NC from our hotel balcony - plenty of room for everyone in November.
Granddaughter Jasmin still enjoyed playing on the sand - too cold to swim but we did put our feet in!
Sunrise from our balcony - lone early fisherman in the right lower corner.
Late afternoon - several people fishing from the pier as the sinking sun turned the ocean to silver.
Exploring Fort Macon early on the morning of Veterans' Day was especially interesting.
From the high position of the fort we could look out across the beach where the brisk wind made several people decide to 'go fly a kite'. Have you noticed how fancy kites are these days? Love the flying fish.
No, this is not DH and yours truly! Just another couple who apparently enjoy fishing and waiting on a lovely Autumn day at the beach.

What a beautiful place to be at this time of year. the way you decribe the cool breeze and all. Sent my mine into lala land. I've only been to the beach maybe three times in my whole life. I want to go back soon.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love just spending time on the balcony with my knitting or a good book. What a beautiful place you found.
ReplyDeleteHi, Mary, the beach is beautiful no matter what season. You got some great shots, sounds like a peaceful, restful trip. Hope you are doing well & enjoy your Thanksgiving next week!

This looks like a perfect place for a weekend break, glad you enjoyed it and had good weather.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite a photographer! These could easily be published in a travel magazine! I have to agree with my grandma! I would love to sit on that balcony with a good book and a cup of tea! Sounds like a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteHello Mary! This looks wonderful! We'll be in NC next month, I can hardly wait. We will be inland at Biltmore Estate. Not staying, but touring.
ReplyDeleteI love NC!!

Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family traditon & beautiful spot. I love the family shadow picture :-}
I love going places when it is not busy. All the photos exude calm and peace. How wonderful! I especially love that last photo of the couple on the beach. The perfect life ~ he is fishing and she is reading?
ReplyDeleteI really do think I DID see your wave across the pond!

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI loved looking at your pics. You do a really nice job. I love the beach...summer, winter, spring, or fall. I always feel so peaceful and relaxed here. It's as if my soul just rests on the sound of the waves. Glad you had a nice trip.
Blessings,
Tonja
I have always wanted to be at the beach when it was winter. we always go in the summer. Looks like ya'll had a great time.

Wonderful beach pictures! I always love coming over to peek in and see all of your travel pictures! I can only dream. Sounds like you had some great family time!

I used to camp on the Outer Banks in early May and mid-October -- water really too chilly for a swim in May, but no crowds -- great beachcombing. In October the water was still bathwater-warm from summer, and the crowds were gone, and it was heavenly. Both seasons, though, I usually got drenched at least one day (I camped in a tent). Lovely to see your pics of the "other NC coast!" I also loved seeing your Asheville pics, as I'm 2.5 hrs away, but have not really explored the city, even though I drive through 3 times a year!
