From The Mountains To The Coast

One big advantage of my job, for me at least, is the varied scenery I am exposed to.  In the past couple of weeks I worked in the Wilmington, NC area and then a few days later I see the awesome views of Jefferson, NC.  While I will always be partial to our coastal region, with it's lazy summer days and ocean moderated temperatures, I certainly can't resist the allure of our mountains.  What a wonderful state we live in!

Wrightsville Beach near sunset just after a front blows through.

The peacefulness of the harbor as the day comes to a close.

While they may resemble the mountains I will see in a week or so, it's just the remnant clouds from the front.

Floating amidst a sea of diamonds....

Some of the simple things in nature offer some of the most interesting opportunities.

Good morning.  A cup of coffee and this view certainly starts everything off right.

How about a picnic at Mount Jefferson?

Or the covered area for those days when it may rain?

A Black Locust tree partially frames the mountain view.

New growth for a new season in early spring.

There are the rare scenes that set themselves up perfectly.
