Down the Road - Ponies of The Outerbanks

Whenever we have the opportunity to visit the Outerbanks of North Carolina, we always take one or two days to find and photograph these magnificent animals. 

Somehow, they have survived the environment even with all the folks that they come in contact with.

Down the Road - Uncle Johnny’s Front Porch

 

Like many of you, I have fond memories of the front porch from growing up with a large family. I remember those special times of sitting out with family at Uncle Johnny’s and Aunt Dean’s house and shucking corn or snapping green beans. Sometimes, we would just sit out on a cool evening and  listen to family members play music or tell stories of their past.

This picture used to be an old country store in Sandy Ridge, North Carolina. Looking at all the different things on the porch takes me back to another time and place that I have precious memories of. I call this one “ Uncle Johnny’s Front Porch” .

Down the Road - Down East

 A few years back we were on vacation in the beautiful town of New Bern , North Carolina. We stopped into a restaurant for breakfast one morning and on the wall behind the cash register was a picture of this scene. I ask the lady at the register where it was taken and she replied it’s on the way to Oriental . So we went out and did some exploring that day and this is the result of our expedition .
