People often ask us why we go. Well, this is one of the reasons…

AH! The beauty, peace and calm of this scene, if I could do this I would as well. Excellent shot.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Peaceful also because we were within a couple of miles of the end of the entire trip—we could afford to relax. (Of course, we didn’t know that the search for our actual campground for that night was still ahead of us…)
Thanks, Francine!

Especially living along the ocean and Cape Fear River. All these salt marshes are begging me to enter in quiet fashion. I’m drooling at the thought! Thanks for your lovely photos – love your adventures.

It seems a distant memory, with the waterways up here all having been iced up for the best part of a month now…
