I've come to see that the expectations I had on the ease of building a following on here are unfounded. I know it's on me, but I'm not convinced it's worth the time.

And as I get older, I've come to realize that my time is more precious to me and I feel like I've been squandering it on here.

Some shots of the Bodie #lighthouse on Bodie Island on the #OuterBanks in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Walked the beach in South Nags Head, turned away from the ocean to see what was going on in the dunes. ❤️

Foggy morning on the #Edenton waterfront.

Sometimes the sun rises without any fanfare.

When I was a kid, a very long time ago, I learned from the Readers Digest that #AnselAdams and I shared a birthday. I went to the library and took out books of his #photography. I always wanted to be a #photographer but it took me 50 years to make that a reality.

So far, I'm liking the overall vibe here on Bluesky. It's gonna take awhile to find my groove, learning how things work, but overall, I like it.

I share my #OBX photos for #beachlovers everywhere.

What is the accepted practice for following back? I'm also wondering how to keep track of comments made so I can interact with them? My feed feels like a jumbled mess.

Any tips are appreciated.

A golden sunrise in South Nags Head. ❤️

I'm going to be giving this platform a try. ❤️

I'm trying to find a spot that I can grow that doesn't limit who can see my photos.

A new place to stay distracted. :).

Love from here. ❤️
