I might have just as easily titled this post “A Week of Excuses.” 🙂
Kathy & I have returned from our jaunt to the NC coast. I did a little bit of photography, but not nearly as much as I had intended. I came back with a few decent photographs, but since photography wasn’t really the main purpose of the trip, I’m not disappointed.
– It was HOT and HUMID! The kind of humidity that makes your glasses (and camera lenses) steam up when you go outside, even at 7:00 in the morning! The low temperatures at night were in the low 80s, stretching to the upper 80s/low 90s during the day. I’m not a fan of heat, so that made it tough.
– I’ve been battling a recurring sore leg, which was not helped by walking on sand. So we limited our beach walking a bit which limited my photographic opportunities.
– Mostly we were spending time with family and friends and generally relaxing, so it was overall a good trip.
Now we have a few weeks to rest up for our next adventure. Coming soon! 🙂
No excuses! I’m with you on the heat and humidity, ain’t for me. And, I’m not a fan of temperatures below freezing. Please don’t add wind with that, either.
I’ll pass on the fixer-upper, thank you.
Another nice series of images! You do that a lot!
Thank you, Monte! Glad I can always count on your words of encouragement. 😉
Monte! I figure that you’d want to get in on a ground-floor opportunity and pick up this “handyman special”. Good price! 🙂
That place would take just a bit more than paint and trim! Although the price is probably good…only steps from the river!
Tom: You guys are retired! Ya gots time! 🙂 Though I’ve not been to that part of NC, just yet, I plan to in the coming year. The humidity has been oppressive. I still get out and do my walks in the morning, but after that, I’m holed up the rest of the day in the A/C.
I’m looking forward to getting into some adventures of my own. I’ve got my countdown-to-retirement counter going … 220 days (max) remaining! Then, I’m done! Free to roam the streets like my friends Tom, Earl, and Monte! 🙂
I would never voluntarily head to the coast in August, but my brother’s family goes to a VA/NC/SC beach every year about this time and we like to join them for a few days. But not to worry, we’re heading up to the northeast in a few weeks and expect much cooler temps in Maine! 😉
