Alan relaxes on the grass while the rest of the group airs up the tires.

Day trip out to Dungeness. Started off very hot and sunny, until i reached Dungeness, when it went all misty

If I tried to get too close though, the crab would whirl around and flash his claws. You have to admit that he was feisty!

Another ferry passes by in the lane.

Dawn at the "Teach's Hole" museum.

Even if you are not getting any bites, it's just fun to watch the birds and the waves.

When walking through the dunes, it is best to stay in the natural valleys. The sand there is firmer and you will not damage the dunes.

View from the lighthouse. Taken with Fuji slide film cross processed.

Neat wind pattern in the sand - it looks like red flames. Even the smallest things on the beach are fascinating to me.

Windsurfers flit over the water like aquatic butterflies.

Two ponies came down the beach and were quite friendly. Rod fed them some apple slices.

Alan turns the kabobs.

Another shot of the kiteboarders. They were slightly south of the windsurfers, but still in the general "Canadian Hole" area.

Bud airs his tires back up after leaving the beach.

Preparing the bait.

After the bread was all gone, they continued to hang around on the porch.

The Hatteras shoreline comes closer.

Judy gets comfortable while she waits.

Look at all of these conch shells!

Not a very good pic, and I'm not sure what this lighthouse is named, but I liked the framing of the bridge. (Shoreway bridge)

Windblown pattern set in the sand.

Watching the windsurfers at the "Canadian Hole" is very popular and there are often lots of photographers standing along the beach.

Passing the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" museum on the way back to the main road.

A windsurfing instructor keeps an eye on his class.

Bird tracks in the sand.

The Ocracoke lighthouse is small when compared to the Bodie or Hatteras lights. It is a little short, fat fellow.

Bud checks to see if he has a bite.

Nothing like a day at the beach! Ocracoke has some of the best beaches in the United States.
