Bright and windy sunset tonight, and a flock of pigeons performed some interesting aerial acrobatics in front of the sun for me! It was a cold wind blowing in, giving the water quite a chop. Beautiful but not as enjoyable as the last few evenings with the unreasonably warm weather. It certainly felt more like January this evening!

Come take a walk with me around Beaufort, NC with my Ray-Ban Meta glasses from Island Proper Outfitters. Gorgeous sunday afternoon to experience the Beaufort Town Docks and Town of Beaufort NC.

Just some pretty views from around Beaufort on a Sunday in January. Those clouds and that beautiful blue sky sure made for some fun shots!

Figured I would do a "before" video of Live Oak before they start construction on the Roundabout. It won't look the same starting tomorrow!

B.A.D. Biggest benefit for y'all of me working at the office til past 8 pm last night? Y'all get to see some B.A.D. photos! For those who haven't seen my B.A.D. photo posts, B.A.D. stand for Beaufort After Dark, a time for folks to see Beaufort, NC in a different light. And that different light is street lights, business's nighttime lighting, and the ambient light of our area.

Many of y'all know that my primary career isn't as a social media/Facebook poster, it is Greg Moss, Realtor, Beaufort Realty. Often times my work keeps me busy til late in the evening, and yesterday was one of those days. It was a day of negotiating deals on two different properties, visiting potential listings, creating the paperwork to list another, and following up with buyers, sellers, inspectors, and the 100 things that go into being a hard working and busy real estate agent.

Luckily Amanda and the kids absolutely understood me stating late at the office...they had had a busy day and were enjoying a relaxing evening at home.

I sent out my last email from the office a few minutes after 8, packed up my briefcase, locked up the office, and carried my chattel to the truck. It was then I realized that the evening was still somewhat warm, the clouds had dissipated enough to see a few stars, and that the light swirling mist could give some fun effect with the streetlights. Instead of heading immediately home, I decided to wander Beaufort for a few minutes taking photos, and these were the results!

I love seeing how the different businesses are lit at night, and what things you can find in the dark. There were a number of night herons on the Finz Grill dock and the Beaufort Town Docks, and there were all sorts of fun sights all over. Live music was going on a couple of different places, and there were folks out and about enjoying their Saturday evening. The Beaufort Police Department were well represented around town, and everone I saw seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I spent about 30 minutes out taking photos before heading home. It was a wonderful day, a wonderful evening, and a fun night!

That sunset just couldn't figure out what to do with itself! But a couple of horses showed up to watch it with me which made it special. I fell into a pattern...couple of pics of horses, couple pics of boats, couple pics of sunset. Rinse and repeat!

Luckily it had stopped raining but the clouds were doing their best to block out the sun. Got a couple of fun shots though!

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!

If my ornithology inclined friends could help me identify the species of hawk I saw on the Beaufort, NC waterfront today I would greatly appreciate it! I saw him (or her) off in the distance as he was coming out of the water without whatever fish he was going after. I could have sworn I heard him talking about 'the one that got away!'

It looked like he was drying off his wings, before he took off and flew back behind the Inlet Inn.

Sorry for the sub-standard pics; I was quite a ways away and it all happened within about 20 seconds, so I was glad for the shots I got!

Thanks!

Pho sure I needed something warm and delicious on this gray day, and I didn't have to wander very far to get it! My meatball and brisket Pho from Viet Street Eats on Front St exactly what I needed!

Today has been one of those weird weather days; I have worn sun glasses and rain boots, rolled up my sleeves and wished I had brought a jacket with me, have rolled down my windows to get a little breeze, and ducked behind a building to get out of the wind. Add into that the fog and the mist...just an odd weather day.

Much of my day has been spent out and about in those elements, and I finally said to myself 'I want some soup!' I decided that the soup I was in the mood for was Pho, so I strolled over to Viet Street Eats on Front street and got me some Pho! I opted for the brisket and meatball Pho...it is so good!

I placed my order, then wandered around taking some photos while they cooked it (check out that hawk that flew up to a piling to let his wings dry after missing a fish at the Beaufort Town Docks). So many cool sights around town today, even in the less than stellar weather!

I picked up my lunch than walked back to the office.

Pho is a very aromatic soup with noodles, herbs, greens, and meat, and it is filling, warming, and delicious. When you get it to-go from there they give you a kit will all sorts of different stuff to put together in the big bowl, and man does it smell good when you are adding it all together!

The flavors are wonderful, and it was exactly what I needed on this gray day!

I think the horseys might get a little damp today! As I was coming down Front Street, I spotted three horses. A solo one down on the east end of Front, visible by peeking through the Live Oak trees of the Front Street Tree Tunnel. As I continued down Front it started to sprinkle, and by the time I saw the other two down by Grayden Paul Park, it was starting to come down.

What do the horses do in the rain? Exactly what they do in the sunshine! They graze, they dig down for fresh water, they snicker at the people on the shore and on the boats taking pictures of them. They just exist!

As a friendly reminder, if you are over on the Rachel Carson Reserve or Shackleford Banks, keep your distance from these wild animals. Don't feed them, don't get close to them for pictures or selfies. Keep your dogs on a leash, and give the horses a wide berth...they are wild!

Happy Saturday! Have a wonderful weekend!

Fun and reflective sunset tonight; the calm water made for some cool views! The sun really cast a golden light over Beaufort...absolutely beautiful.

Sometimes you just need a sandwich with five kinds of protein on it, and today was that day! Enter the Double Brunch Smash Burger from Marker 3 in Morehead City...a whole lot of yummy!

I was blessed to be joined today for lunch by two of my favorite dining buddies, my gorgeous wife Amanda and my assistant Arlene, and we decided to head across the bridges into Morehead City to go have lunch at Marker 3 in Downtown Morehead City. It is a great restaurant right on Arendell Street; Arlene and I had eaten here when it first opened, and Amanda has been wanting to try it.

We snagged a spot out front and walked in; it is a really cool space with a lot of fun and funky art on the walls. We had missed the lunch rush; sometimes it gets quite busy, but at 2:15 on a Friday afternoon it wasn't bad.

We placed our order, then Amanda and I went for a quick stroll through Downtown Morehead while or food was cooking (we unapologetically left Arlene to mind the table while we walked!). Beautiful sights and views on our little waterfront constitutional, then we headed back just in time for our food to arrive.

Arlene got a loaded grits bowl (see the pic of the menu for a full description), Amanda went with the single American Smash, and I went with the healthy option, the Double Brunch Smash. 2 versions of cow, 2 versions of pig, and chicken, all on an English muffin! My kind of healthy living!

This thing had two hamburger patties, white American cheese, a sausage patty, bacon, a fried runny egg, sauce, and I added a slice of tomato and some lettuce for good measure. Let me tell you, this thing was DELICIOUS!! Sometimes you just need a week's worth of protein in one sitting, and that is exactly what I got!

The fries were great too, and not a single person at that table left hungry. We had wonderful service and just an all around wonderful lunch. If you haven't tried Marker 3 yet, it needs to be on your list!

Pretty pretty sunset last night! I got to enjoy it from a couple of different places; the east side of the North River bridge as I was heading back in from Down East, the Front Street Tree Tunnel, then multipe spots on Front St. (Love those chairs at the corner of Leonda and Front that are placed PERFECTLY to watch it!)

The cloud cover was thicker last night then we have had for the last few sunsets but what peeked through was full of color and just beautiful.

I will tell you, I don't think I have ever seen an ugly sunset in Beaufort, NC!
