Well looks like we have a lot of posting to do to get the thread back up to full strength
My contribution to that effort with this one.
Posting a series from my trip down east a little over a week ago. These are from a small natural area on Bogue Banks surrounding the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium. It is the Theodore Roosevelt State Natural Area. It was donated to the state of NC in 1971 by Theodore Roosevelt's grandchildren as a living memorial to the 26th president.
It is an outstanding out and back hike that includes a trip through a maritime forest, views of Bogue Sound and views of brackish and salt marshes. In a couple areas you have all in one view. We have been going down here for years but this is the first time we visited the trail. Usually we are there in the middle of the summer and unless you are drenched in DEET, the mosquitos will carry you away.
We did not see a lot of wildlife this time of year but always good to see nature in different seasons.

After visiting The Lost Colony in that neck of the woods some time ago, I'm convinced they were lost to being devoured by mosquitoes!
