I’m still at Topsail Beach, so still posting pictures. Not sure what day it was, but the blackbirds lined up in front of me on the wire. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have my camera with me. There were at least 20 of them and they were all looking at me. It was so awesome. I tried to sneak and get my camera, but they all left. Later I saw them on the wires in the back of the house, so I figured I’d go ahead and get them from there. It wasn’t as close, but it gives you the idea of what I saw anyway.
I’m enjoying being able to read from my Kindle Fire. I started a book and then finished it, then I went onto the next book. No one here to say “haven’t you been reading enough?” or worrying about stuff that needs to get done. The place is all clean and I can do as I please, I guess you call that “vacation”!
The ocean looks like it comes right up to the houses in front of us at high tide. I decided to go see what it looked like from the public access stairs and also take a walk. When I got to the end of the access before it goes down the stairs, I saw that the ocean is almost right against the houses. There is not much beach to walk on! The water kept coming to the stairs, so I didn’t want to risk getting wet to take a walk. I stood for about half an hour looking at the beach and the waves (and taking pictures). I will go ahead and go for a walk later and may have more pictures to post.
I take my “baby Canon” camera with me on walks. I don’t want to take my new Nikon out yet. My canon pretty well goes with me everywhere I go now. I can’t stand to not get a picture, if I see the opportunity.
Scott is supposed to come tonight. I was talking to him earlier though and he still sounds like he has way too much to do. The first guitar is ready to be shipped. Scott has to take it to a special place in Durham so that he can insure it. I will post the finished pictures of it when I get a chance. It is a real beauty. The second one is in the finishing stages and it should go to its new home this weekend. The couple that ordered it for their daughter live in Raleigh so Scott can take that one to its new home. It is gorgeous too. Scott only makes “beautiful” guitars. His course that he took from Irvin Somage (not sure of the spelling) has helped him with making the guitars sound even better than they have.
Enjoy the pictures!
