This is 'Northwind' the house that we are staying in at a tiny 'village' (series of windswept houses and holiday businesses) on the Outer Banks.
We visited the beach for a swim but after an hour or so we had to retreat from the sun.
It was a huge treat, whilst swimming, to see Brown Pelicans flying over, landing and diving for fish. At the water's edge were yellowlegs and spotted sandpipers (we think). No bird photos as yet, David will be on the case tomorrow!
We drove along the Hatteras Island coastline which is protected and headed for the beach for a picnic lunch. However the sky started to darken and some (quite refreshing) rain fell.
We drove on to Cape Hatteras and visited the lighthouse there, the tallest in North America.
Some wonderful images of the sky especially the storm cloud. None of you in the sea???
