Each birthday just keeps getting better. Once I realized that every trip around the sun is a tremendous cause for celebration, I began observing each birthday differently. Coupled with my goal and desire to see ten new places in the world this year that I had not seen, I was honored to have a friend, who cared enough to want this birthday to be excitingly special. Mary Mount planned a weekend get away to Kitty Hawk, NC on the Outer Banks. What a perfect time of year to explore a giant tourist attraction that is being altered with the global climate changes.
Here are some of the pictures that came from the exploring. One thing I have learned about photography is that the observer should be trying to capture a unique view that others simply miss. It is easy to see the large pictures, like sky and sea, however, it is even more interesting to capture the miniature pictures that are so easy to overlook. We took the time to collect small, unique pieces of beach components, only to then create mosaic collages of color, texture, and shapes. Here are some of the fun ones.
