Recently my husband and I
spent nine fun filled days on Ocracoke Island, NC. We took lots of photos, walked down village streets, attended
music concerts at the Deepwater Theater, listened to stories and history told
by local islanders and took walks on the island beaches.
One day we were nearly
blasted off a sand dune by wind and sand.
Ouch, that sand stung from head to toe.
Later in the day we returned to Ocracoke Village only to learn there was
a tornado warning until 8 pm. No wonder
the wind blew so hard; we confirmed it was up to 25 and 30 miles per hour.
We walked an interesting
nature trail, Hammock Hills, out on the island near the campground. Here’s a critter I photographed, out of
many, as I watched him move about in the swampy area near the trail. I’m amazed at the cute little cartoon like
face, reminding me of a Disney character. What would you name him?
I spotted other interesting creatures that reside there. The trail goes
through a part of the island forest that serves as a habitat for small
wildlife, though nothing as large as deer.
Actually, the island itself is not a habitat for deer.
I plan to blog more about Ocracoke.
