Thank you for such a lovely compliment, Tania. I recently heard that they're undergoing some major erosion on the Outer Banks. They are a very narrow band of islands. Vicki

Hello again, May - umm - this IS the end of the path . . . if you look closely at the photo you'll see what's on the other side - the Atlantic Ocean!

This is a beautiful shot. It taunts me to jump in and follow the path.

Thank you for your comments, Carol, Karen, Randy and Lulu - I was drawn to the beach that day due to all the kite boarders - but the Sea Oats really grabbed my brain when I saw them against the wonderful cloud formations. I'm glad you enjoyed them too.

Vicki, I love thiis. It reminds me of our beaches here. I could see this one hanging on a wall. Especially with the framing that ties in with it so well.

It's almost time to move on - this summer has sure gone fast. Thank you for the kind comments, Alandra and Les - and Mary, The Christmas Island Gallery is closing this year after all those years in business. The owners are retiring and decided to close rather than sell their delightful store. I took these late in the afternoon - the clouds were gorgeous - the sea oats are fluffier today, but I doubt I'll have a chance to nab them again with my camera before we leave the Outer Banks this weekend.

Another good image, well done.
