Mar 2018 Wallpaper

Well another late wallpaper, but I sort of have an excuse…  We had a series of snowstorms here in the Northeast and during the second one we lost our internet connection for nearly a week (shoutout to Verizon for getting it fixed when we were one in a sea of thousands that had outages).   So I had this ready to go but had a backlog of real work to plow through first.   My apologies.

I think I’ve mentioned this before…  For some reason I have very few photographs taken in March.  This one came from a trip up and down the east coast in 2009: Sunrise on Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina.

There’s about 2 feet of snow outside our windows right now, but we know that Spring is coming!

November 2017 Wallpaper

Environment, Lightroom, Photography, Wallpaper, , ,

We were on vacation the first week of November in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  We visited 5 National Wildlife Refuges (and could have easily added another 3 or 4 if we had the time).   While, sadly, the migrating birds had yet to arrive we enjoyed the bears at Alligator River NWR and this peaceful sunset at Pea Island NWR.

(As long as I have your attention…  Our National Wildlife Refuge system is currently under attack by the current congress and administration.  Please consider supporting organizations like the National Wildlife Refuge Association, League of Conservation Voters, and others that are trying to give a voice to these precious national (and global) assets.)
