Snow on Ocracoke Island in NC’s Outer Banks #OBX. I’ve stayed on the island in the early spring and November when it’s cold and blustery. The bone-rattling, teeth-gnashing wind that tugs at your coat can be fierce.

Wasn't quite full when I snapped this Saturday night in #Ocracoke, but check out that halo 😍 Will it be a snowy winter?

I had 24 hours in #ocracoke this weekend, just enough time for my last taste of Eduardo's Taco Stand before they close for good. Couldn't resist a few #bird #pictures too!

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

My White Whale When I’d visit here as a kid, the interior was always closed off to the public. In the last year or so they apparently finally opened up the base. Was cool to finally see inside! ...

Finally got to see inside of this thing. Was the one lighthouse in this area that was closed off when I’d visit as a kid.

Extraordinary Erin expands its reach over the northwest Atlantic » Yale Climate Connections And another disturbance could intensify and reach the northern Leeward Islands as soon as the upcoming weekend.

Even though #Erin is tracking well offshore, much of the East Coast will get days of rip currents & high surf. More direct effects from Erin's fringes likely on the Outer Banks of North Carolina; both #Hatteras and #Ocracoke islands are being evacuated.

Absolutely deafening frog chorus in the Ocracoke lighthouse marsh. #ocracoke #night #frogs #nature #squirreltreefrog

Walked into one my favorite bookstores, @bookstobered.bsky.social, right off a rainstorm at the beach. As always, I was greeted by Leslie’s warm smile and a stack of books to sign. #Ocracoke is my happy place.

I’ll be on Ocracoke Island all next week, and part of my visit will be frequenting @bookstobered.bsky.social, one of my favorite bookstores in the country. ❤️
If you’re in #OBX and taking a ferry to #ocracoke, be sure to stop by. They’ll be signed copies of the Spellbinders books. 📚

This time last year we planned our Outer Banks trip. Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, KDH, Manteo, Hatteras and Ocracoke were included. No hiking but lots of walking, many days on the beach and some ferry boat trips. Miss surfing and fishing the most.
