back to nature -- it is so exciting to see new flora and fauna each day around here. we like to document these memories to preserve this special part of our lives while we are living out here; thus, we have been glued to our cameras :)
two fishing boats on the horizon. these, along with a military ship, FOUR jellyfish, two spumes of breath from WHALES (haven't quite seen the actual whales yet), and a single generic turtle were spotted the ONE day we didn't bring our camera along while walking on the beach...good thing they were still there after running back to grab it! maybe in the future we will even come across a beached shark like alissa's friends liz and becky saw the other week!!

the military ship! training in our big blue backyard, how cool. some ospreys (military aircraft) were practicing landing on it!
sea turtle season has begun! we hope we are able to catch a glimpse of these unique creatures and perhaps even be lucky enough to snap a photo! in the meantime, we've seen our fair share of the common turtles around here
sea turtle crossing!
fiddler crabs, seen on a walk at the croatan national forest
zooming in on those little buggers...eeesh! the males are the ones sporting the enlarged pincher claws
horseshoe crab. it's huge! shirley was pawing at it, haha
no idea what this is...some type of crustacean
alli the alligator - she inhabits the pond in our neighborhood complex. NO LIE!!!!! we are too hesitant to walk shirley by in fear that she'd become a mid-morning snack...
flock of pelicans: primordial and majestic - perhaps one of the most relaxing gregarious waterbirds to gaze at
a squid, washed ashore
ink!
king prawn! (shout out to radonkadonk - it's pepe!!!)
