Sunrise, Sunset

While there are plenty of things to love about our Carolina beaches, the things I admire the most are the morning sunrises and evening sunsets.

The unique geographical orientation of our home near Emerald Isle, and the rest of the Crystal Coast, gives us a southern view of the ocean. This positioning affords us the opportunity to witness the sun peeking over the eastern horizon and dipping below the water to the west. Doing morning walks before work, or evening walks after dinner, my wife and I have the perfect, picturesque view of an orange glow reflecting off the dark blue water as it washes over the soft sand. Moments like those are hard to take for granted.
