Shrimp Trawlers Populate Harbors
Shrimp trawlers lead the observer to ponder many things – the creative names of the individual vessels, reflections on a way of life, and recipes for the tasty crustaceans.
Home Construction

Barns on Don Lee Farms – near the Lee Cemetery – near Camp Don Lee – near the Neuse River – near Arapahoe – only a half century ago they were projecting the rich aroma of flue cured tobacco in late summer.
Was it that long ago that the youth of Pamlico County spent summers harvesting tobacco with no cell phones to call friends during breaks?
Just as the last shadows of winter tell of the coming spring, a new day is still coming down on the farm.
Sign of the Times
Some scenes cry out to be photographed. Some scenes make one wonder, “Are you kidding me?” or “Is that for real?”
