Outer Banks

These are some of the scenes we saw while recently visiting the Outer Banks. Photos included in my mosaic are of the Pea Island NWR header photo , sunset at Pea Island, Wright Brothers National Memorial..see my previous post for more photos, Jockey Ridge State park is home to the tallest and natural sand dune, Bodie Island Lighthouse under renovation until Dec 2010 and Nags Head Woods Preserve.




                               Jockey Ridge State park had a nice Tracks in the sand trail.

                              
                                   The trail took us along the Roanoke Sound for a short time


The Bodie Island Lighthouse under renovation until Dec. 2010, but the grounds and visitor center are open to the public. They also had a nice nature trail which included a lookout tower over a pond. The pond was great for checking out the birds and ducks.



Nags Head Woods Preserve, five miles of trails in anciet oak forest. A beautiful place.
