Pea Island , holly cow

Pea Island Visitor Center where we spend most of our Volunteer time .that's not snow , just lots of sand .

The view from the porch of the VC before Hurricane Jose came through .

Just some awesome waves

And then the storm hit and now this is our  view from the porch . North Carolina 12 was closed for two days as there was 4 feet of water and sand on the road .

Sand is every where , it sort of looks like a good old fashion snow storm , just a bit heaver than snow .

As I write this we have been evacuated to Alligator River Refuge and w are riding out Hurricane Maria at our time share in Kitty Hawk , it's our Family Reunion time and just waiting for the wind to kick in. From here we can see the 15 foot waves , just awesome and waiting for the word so we an go back to our spot on the Beach on Body Island . Should be able to move the RV back on Thursday or Friday as long as not to much of the beach has been eroded . Ahh, life on a Sand Bar .

Last of Savannah National Wildlife Refuge

On our last tour of the Refuge I managed to get a few good photos of a Swallow Tail kite just soaring above us .

just so beautiful

Getting Butterfly pictures are so hard . Getting the next few pictures we just awesome .

Seeing their face is just so neat .

Part of the job when doing the wildlife drive is to check the porto on the drive I opened the door to check for TP and saw more than a few of these guys .

Managed to a few good Skimmer pics on the pond in Savannah

Just so awesome to se it working .

A good reflection shot .

Big ass grasshoppers .

When w first saw them we had to ask the Biologist what they were .

A Bittern hunting at low tide . The tide goes in and out 10 feet at each tide change .

When they stand up alongside the reeds , they just blend right in .

A very happy Squirrel hanging out in one of the Live Oaks .

Our view of the Total Eclipse .

That was our view  in totality .

So we left Savannah in time to not get involved with the hurricane there but as we at now in the Outer Banks , yep not one but two hurricanes since we have arrived .
