Oak Island, NC USA

Spring 2016

Here’s a collection from a late spring visit to Oak Island, NC.  The weather was moderate, ie. 70-80s with a constant 5-10 mph wind coming from the south.  The water was cool but not cold.  Most days provided beautiful sunsets but on occasion, a slight haze at the horizon prohibited great sunset colors.

Oak Island and its sister city, Southport, are beautiful small ocean side towns with plenty of opportunities for some great photography.

Robin nest

The birds are back after a long and somewhat colder than normal winter in NC.  When going to pressure wash the vinyl siding, one noticed the nest of Robin eggs and the attending parents.  Pressure washing was delayed in favor of watching the eggs progress into hatchlings and ultimately mature birds.

Within a day or two of the below snapshots, the birds had flown the nest.
