Stunning Saturday morning sunrise at Carolina Beach.
Respect for the delicate, shifting, protecting dunes
is so important along this beautiful North Carolina coast..........frequent storms and
hurricanes often cause havoc. The dunes are precious to the future of the shore, and those who
choose to live and work there.
Leave a gentle footprint in the sand...........
Beautiful seabirds.....................
Always fun and interesting, a visit to the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher, Kure Beach.
This is Luna, one of less than 50 albino alligators known to exist in the world.
Both parents must carry the albino gene to produce albino offspring.
She is now 7 years old, approximately 7 feet
long, and growing rapidly. She will soon be moved to
a larger pond, meanwhile she lives a quiet, safe
life.........it is rare for an albino to survive in the
wild with no natural protection from the sun, and an
easy catch for predators when first hatched.
A great sign at the aquarium.........
...........and beautiful fish.
Grab the sandals, roll up the pants, nothing sweeter than walking the beach..............
