Love the marshes in east Carolina. I am surrounded by them here. This is one of the docks leading to Eastman Creek, where it meets the ICWW.

trying something new....

Having recently taken a workshop with Dan Nelson from Raleigh, I am applying what I learned to some new work.

And more of the beach....
