Even though there's nothing here about me, dad wanted to share a few photographs taken recently here in Wilmington. Mom, dad and mom's sister wandered around downtown one late afternoon this past summer and took these shots from a riverfront restaurant at sunset.
Is that not a glorious westward view? Dad loves the sun's glare over the river's surface, and although those clouds look somewhat ominous they passed on by peacefully. Dad was heading to work one morning and thought the sunrise sky was worthy of a picture, so he snapped this one.
A few days before that he came home from work and was awed with the colorful sky at sunset right overhead.
Beach pictures have become a part of our life here, and mom and dad took these a few weekends ago after a particularly stormy week.
These were taken at Fort Fisher Beach, and you can kind of see how rough the surf was as it hit the large rocks. Despite the roiling surf, what's not to love about the peacefulness of this place?

They are all beautiful photos. I love to take photos of the sea, reflections and sunsets. (I am not usually up early enough for sunrise!)
We call it a mackerel sky when the sunset is striped like that.
You do live in such a pretty neck of the woods sweet Cleo!
OMCs Cleo what gorgeous photos your peeps are sharing. I love sun on water, and peeping through clouds. Timing was wonderful to catch that big splash of wave too.
Happy Weekend

Our mom misses the ocean a lot.
Terrific images...I love clouds!

Great photos! Mom bean appawciates the sight of open water. Everything here is frozen over.
those shots are just beautiful!!
Those photos are wonderful. I bet the scenery was even more dramatic in person.
Beautiful photos, and beautiful place. Purrs
My mommy also loves taking pictures of those very things! Ashe loves t see other peoples work.
Gorgeous! I wish our little town had a riverfront restaurant and retail space. Or that the suburb across the bridge utilized their side for something nicer than ugly apartment complexes. At least we have a decent nature park and bike path. :) Be well! And thank you for sharing.
Wonderful photos all. Thanks
