The Boardwalk ...

Drawn by the meandering twists and turns of the newly created boardwalk in Duck, North Carolina, I couldn't help but explore more. 

The Osprey nests (complete with little heads on the left side of the nest) was intriguing.  This really doesn't seem like the safest location ... especially in a hurricane! But, I'm certain that there is greater wisdom about this nesting site than what my human emotions are telling me.

 The beauty comes in many forms, most of which is randomly places by the forces of nature.

 The emerging designs are interesting and mesmerizing. I watch it, expecting it to change in the moment.

 For the most part, it doesn't change .....

But it is changing. The water flows, the wind blows ....

Schools of minnows dance along the rippled sandy bottom .....

 

And then a special guest arrives. I see a slow movement among the reeds and driftwood. My camera is  in position ..... and am I glad.

 

Perhaps he is NOT the guest but rather, I am.  I mind my manners .. I move slowly, quietly and gratefully.  I am a guest in his "house". Thank you for allowing me to visit!
