I invite you to browse this new category for our Beachside Banter Blog! Salty Reflections is another means of sharing life here on Hatteras Island through the lens of a camera. Almost everyday here brings yet another opportunity to capture a moment in time with a photograph of this wonderful place I now call home.
I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire and really fell in love with Hatteras Island the very first time vacationing here over 20 years ago. The weather, wind, water, sunsets, the caring people I became acquainted with, and the island lifestyle kept me coming back here time and again, year after year. Now it seems hard to believe that 11+ years has passed since moving and settling here permanently.
As an amateur photographer over the years I have always enjoyed the challenge of searching out a path less traveled in hope of finding a unique photo opportunity. And yet even here (a small place geographically), Hatteras Island has many such paths. I continue to be amazed by the ever-changing landscape, the resilience of our natural vegetation and variety of wildlife that are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions that sometimes occur here. Collectively all that is here continues to inspire me and can provide so many great moments that my camera is (almost always) nearby and ready!
So from time-to-time I will post a photograph from my modest assortment that I have kept stashed away. There may be a caption or short story that goes along with it, or there may just be the photo itself, which may stir a fond memory or brief reflection of your own Hatteras Island visit!
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, it is true that island time really does exist! It was an easy transition for me to find my island time comfort zone. If you let it, island time has a way of eliminating the clutter in life, and helps simplify things. I like that.
