Wind, Rain and Waves - Our Week In Waves NC [April 5-12, 2018]


I wait out of the wind, while Tiki waits for Russ to return with her B-A-L-L
Our week in Waves had every combination of sun, calm, wind, and rain that you can imagine.  Rain storms producing 2+ inches kept us indoors, and winds forecast with gusts at 50 mph kept us parked in the campground.  No matter, we love and appreciate all of the faces of life at the beach.  Here are photos of the marvelous and lovely beach at Waves in all of it's iterations.  Here also are pictures from some of our shorter adventures.

We arrived on a sunny day
Then it turned stormy...
...leaving us in a wet campsite

Sometimes it was windy and sunny
Sometimes it was windy and grey
Sometimes it was windy and cloudless
The gulls were feeding off of something yummy brought in on the waves

Then, our last morning was beautiful and calm - of course it was, we were leaving...
