OBX Bird: The baby duck likes our doggie dock

http://obxbird.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-baby-duck-likes-our-doggie-dock.html

Sunday, May 19, 2013. The baby duck likes our doggie dock. The male mallard is brightly colored, while his wife has a beautiful blue marking on her side. The couple's one surviving duckling likes to hang out around our dock. The black helicopters have been flying low across the sky. There are occasional booms, some kind of military testing. The green tree frogs have returned. Recommendations: 1. Don't eat duck. 2 Eat at the Kill Devil Grill. I'm not sure why, but it wasn't around very long. (I don't ...

OBX Bird: The Tourists Are Gone (mostly). The symbiotic relationship of a tourist destination.

http://obxbird.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-tourists-are-gone-mostly-symbiotic.html

Thursday, September 5, 2013. The Tourists Are Gone (mostly). The symbiotic relationship of a tourist destination. That is my handsome son catching a small ride on Labor Day afternoon. I was so excited, anticipating an uncrowded beach on Monday afternoon, as most of the kiddies have to go back to school the day after Labor Day, and boy oh boy, I was not disappointed. I ran down to the water screaming, "I got my beach back! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Author of Above Us Only Sky. Above Us Only Sky.

OBX Bird: The Treefrogs Are Back

http://obxbird.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-treefrogs-are-back.html

Sunday, August 11, 2013. The Treefrogs Are Back. Photo by JD Wilson. I wish that I had a better, more scientific understanding of nature, but my understanding is more artistic and intuitive than knowledgeable. I was on my way to work today and three had hitched a ride on my car. Not wanting to strand them off the 158 Bypass, I stopped in a greener area and unloaded my little hitchhikers. I wish that I knew more about these "suckers". They are one of my favorite things about summer on the sound. I am a fo...

OBX Bird: OBX Traffic Report for Memorial Day Weekend, 2013

http://obxbird.blogspot.com/2013/05/obx-traffic-report-for-memorial-day.html

Thursday, May 23, 2013. OBX Traffic Report for Memorial Day Weekend, 2013. There's precious cargo in these parts! On Wednesday, a woman drove 50 mph through a red light. On the 158 bypass. After doing so, she slammed on brakes. Three drivers swerved from the right lane into the middle turning lane. These incidences all happened in a two-mile span of the 158 bypass. BE ALERT. If you know the side streets, take them, but drive the 25 mph speed limit and watch out. OBX Children at Play: OBX. Roofer: Outer B...

Girlfriends Book Club: White Girl Gone Tribal

http://girlfriendbooks.blogspot.com/2014/08/white-girl-gone-tribal.html

Thursday, August 14, 2014. White Girl Gone Tribal. I want to go tribal, pound the earth with hands wide open, my butt high in the air. I like to get funky. I like to feel the earth under my feet and in my hands. I want my white-boy son to dance with abandon. So far, so good… When he was In Utero, I played hip-hop- Nelly and Salt n' Pepa, that kinda thing, no classical music for him.). Both require the participant to say, ‘To hell with inhibitions. I came here to shake my ass! Simon and Schuster, 2015).

http://obxbird.blogspot.com/2013/06/three-random-sick-in-surfing-way.html

Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Three Random Sick (in the surfing way) Publicly Funded Places in Dare County. These are three of my favorite things about Dare County. And they all happen to be publicly funded! And they are all within eyeshot of where the Wright Brothers took flight in 1903- and within view of the memorial that stands as testament to their achievement in flight.). Dare County Parks and Recreation:. Small town living OBX style means affordable. Parks and Recreation is phenomenal! On a thin penins...

All Things Beautiful: Georgia Wren

http://isabelandgloria.blogspot.com/2009/11/georgia-wren.html

Is about friendship, about photographs, about lemon squares. About Gloria Ricci and Isabel Sullivan and her camera, the Brownie Hawkeye. Isabel Sullivan, one of three sisters, was born November 3, 1939 in Batesville, Virginia. Her love of picture taking was one of the many things that set her apart from her sisters, from everyone in fact. Monday, November 30, 2009. Georgia Wren in velvet, fruit loops and rock and roll boots. Unstoppable. November, 2009. Shot with Brownie Hawkeye. View my complete profile.

Isabel Sullivan, one of three sisters, was born November 3, 1939 in Batesville, Virginia. Her love of picture taking was one of the many things that set her apart from her sisters, from everyone in fact. Sunday, October 4, 2009. Blowing dust and flour. This is a photo of the Avon Pier in Avon, North Carolina. A delightfully wobbly wave-like pier as you can see.
