I haven’t been around many bamboo forest in the past, so when I saw a patch of bamboo growing on the side of the hill at the Biltmore Estate I climbed up there to check it out. With about one hour of sun left in the day, the angle was playing nice and so I took a few photos. This one ended up being the best out of them.
Happy Sunday everyone!
A few weeks ago we did a “shrimp run” to the Sneads Ferry near the Topsail Beach. For the last few years my wife use to go there with one of her friends and pick up 50+ pounds of fresh shrimp right off the fishing boat. This year her friend could not make it and I had time, so it was my turn for this trip. With last years winter being so warm, the shrimp grew huge, it was probably some of the largest shrimp I ever saw, true jumbo shrimp, up to 5 inches long. We have about 35 pounds of it in the freezer for many good meal over the next twelve month.
It is good 4 hours drive from our house, so we stayed overnight at the beach and the following morning I got up early and sneaked out to take some sunrise pictures. There were no real sunrise, it rained overnight and total overcast, but the morning was nice nerveless. See it for yourself.

It is Monday and it is a movie time!!! This hi definition photo (click on it) is from the 27 seconds time slot in this video. Enjoy and have a great week everyone!
Wall murals are cool. I try to take picture of them when I see one. Asheville has a lot of random murals around its downtown area, on my occasional visits I already took a few of them. I think this is the second one I get around to sharing with you. As I was processing it, I was looking at it and tried to figure out what kind of war it is and decided that it must be from the early 19th century, some type of Napoleon Bonaparte war fare. What do you think?
Short post today. Almost didn’t make. Too much was going last night, but had a few extra minutes this morning. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
