Mighty fine! Are there more to come?
ReplyDeleteIs there a place to donate blood on OI? I understand the Red Cross is low on blood. Blood banks are non profit agencies. But the amount they charge hospitals is less then what a hospital charges a patient for blood. If blood banks always had people donating blood do think the economics of things would lower prices all around, for everyone?? With so many visitors on the island the altruistic nature of donating blood may be pulsing through the community.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, last year my family and I tried to go to the beach at night and we got half way across the walkway and realized we were being eaten alive by the green flies. Did we just pick a bad day, is there a trick to making it to the beach at night without being eaten alive, or do you just have to endure the flies to enjoy the beach at night? Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing philip! I always love seeing the photos you post!
ReplyDeleteThe Blood Mobile comes to Ocracoke periodically. I believe there is always a repectable turnout.
ReplyDeletewonderful
ReplyDeleteI have biked to the beach after dark and been swarmed (did I say swarmed?) by mosquitoes. They near about drove me crazy as I ran across the dunes to the beach. Out by the water they didn't bother me at all.
ReplyDeleteAt other times the green head flies are terrible. They are more likely to attack you near the water.
But the bugs aren't always bad at the beach at night. Last Thursday was not only beautiful with pleasant temperatures...there weren't any bugs at all.
Philip, you've shared so many photos through the years....these taken on the beach at night are some of the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving us another unique glimpse of Ocracoke. It tugs at my heart when I see such pictures, but this NC mainlander loves seeing the photos more than you possibly can know.
