Alabama in the Fall Where Sunrises are Still Beautiful
I don’t know if I want to say this is a typical sunrise here in Alabama or not (I think they are all different every single day), but it is still beautiful. It reminds me of a calm coolish (certainly not cold yet) Saturday morning here in Alabama. Auburn plays Vanderbilt tonight, which means there…

An Empty Beach in Outer Banks North Carolina
This is just one of probably 5,000 images I have of an empty beach. People often tell me they can’t find any beaches without big crowds anymore, especially here in the continental U.S., but I beg to differ. More often than not, Deborah and I find ourselves on a beach with less than 10 people…
