Watching spring unfold along the Crystal Coast is special treat. The spring months when the heat pumps are silent and the birds very vocal are only surpassed by warm, humidity free days and cool evenings of fall when the water remains warm.
The spring walks that I take along the beach get longer and longer until the heat finally wins as summer peaks. This shot was snapped near the Point at Emerald Isle looking northwest. Bogue Inlet and Hammocks beach are to the left.
