Sun Up and Sun Down

We arrived in North Carolina last night and took a ferry to Bald Head Island, all in the dark. So weird to take a ferry and not see much but lights. Then we got a tram that took us to our house, in the dark. It was a very odd feeling. Of course it gets dark here by 5 or so.  We arrived after nine here.
  As odd as that was, I got to sleep late, then was up to watch the sun come up!  I was looking forward to getting to sleep in.  I guess my body is used to be up by 6. ugh..............Anyway, God rewarded me with a gorgeous sunrise!  Oh my was it beautiful!  I had a cup of coffee on the porch and took picture after picture of this beautiful place.

Here's my sweet Sarah on a walk with me down the beach.  We had fun picking up shells.  She liked the typical shell shapes with the pretty colors.  I on the other hand liked the odd-shaped shells with fossil looking shapes inside.  The water is cold to walk in but after a bit you get used to it.  Tim says it's because your feet are frozen! LOL

Here is the end of the sunlight setting in the west.  After the sun sets, it's still light for a bit.  You can walk the beach a bit longer.  Lots of animals here we're told.  We saw dolphins swim by today.  Hope to get some pictures of them.

What a wonderful gift we've been given by God.  To be able to experience his creations in a different environment has been amazing.  I still can't believe we are here!  Many of the people here are renters like us.  There are about 500 residents who stay for the winter.  They only get snow once or twice a year.  Nothing at all like Cleveland eh?

Thanks for stopping by.  I will soon have info about our craft show and items we sold there.

Bless you for stopping by.
