Ever the beach

As the world hurtles on always changing, it's nice to return with my family to the same Carolina beaches (more or less) where we've been vacationing all my life. The beach itself remains much the same, and the week there is deliciously mellow.

So in that mellow spirit, I've posted some of the pictures from our 2012 week at the beach in no particular order and with very little captioning.
 

 

The view from our house this year, the last one on the island. Looking east toward Ocean Isle across the inlet.
