I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
I hope everyone does not mind but I am still going thru our photos from Nags Head and the Outer Banks, North Carolina.. We had a great time enjoying the ocean, beach and all the birds.. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing, just the kind of trip hubby and I enjoy...all about nature...
Above a Northern Harrier, sunrise, shadow shot, American Wigeon, Song Sparrow, moon.
Sunrise at Nags Head. "Delight in the beauty that surrounds you" unknown author. A quote that hubby and I live by...
In the mosaic above are some Sanderlings on the beach, Great Egrets, White Ibis in flight, GB Heron & Coots, Brown Pelicans on the beach and sunset..
I always enjoy watching the Northern Harrier. Some Tundra Swans in the distance are feeling safe.
At sunset a few Brown Pelican on the island, near their rookery. It was amazing seeing so many Brown Pelicans! There were more Pelicans then I could fit in one photo.
Just for fun...here is my great-nephew Neill with Santa..I believe this is the first time I have seen him crying..He is still a cutie! I hope you enjoyed my post and photos..
I hope you can join in on our fun at Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday

poor santas scare the kids to death. :)
love the shadow shot.
Great photos! No, I'm not tired of your photos from the Outer Banks. A place I hope to visit someday.
It's always lovely to see beautiful sunsets and interesting birds.
But the best photo this time is the one of your great-nephew!! He is such a cutie!
What a sweet little guy! I hope he got a present or at least some candy. Love your amazing photos! Happy holidays, Diane
Hi Eileen I love the Northern Harrier and the sunrise shots. Your post is superb. It's good to see Neil again; sorry that Santa scared him! Have a great day. Jo
Oh sad baby boy, having to sit on the lap of an old man with a funny dress on, just kidding. Lovely blog you are writing.
Olá Eileen, as fotos estão magnificas!
Adorei esse nascer do sol!
O seu sobrinho é um amor de criança, mesmo a chorar...
Abraços e uma boa semana.

the first time i saw Santa, in 1947 or 48 i screamed the house down, that was the last time to... he is adorable.. such beautiful sunsets and love the two shadow people
Poor Neill. Santa can be quite frightening to a child - all that hair and a bright red suit!
I wish I could see more Northern (Hen) Harriers, let alone take photos like that. Great sunsets again.
Have a lovely week Eileen.
Absolutely gorgeous shots and then a good laugh at the end :)
I do not mind at all your continuing on with your Nags Head photos...goodness I took nearly 2 months to complete our journey shares. I would love to see a Harrier so close. I got my first photo ops with them this past September and missed the greatest shot, when it flew up in front of our windscreen...goodness~
What a sunrise! Gorgeous. I always enjoy seeing the birds through your adventures. Poor little guy ... guess Santa was too much to take with the Ho Ho HO!
Your harrier photo reminds me that our local wetlands have been neglected so long that invasive shrubs have completely covered most of the wet prairies. I no longer see the harriers coursing back and forth. Sad.
Lovely photos and beautiful sunsets.
Cute picture of Santa and your great nephew.
I have a couple of my old photos with me crying on Santa's lap too. : )
Lindas fotos e a do Neill com o Papai noel, maravilhosa,rs bjs, chica
Really nice photos, Eileen. Neill doesn't look too happy. lol. I've been derelict in my blogging duties. It's just hard to stay sitting in front of a computer during the holiday season. Don't give up on me!
Hello Eileen!!Poor Neill ,being scared of Santa!
Gorgeous pictures Eileen!Great images of the sunset the sunrise and those beautiful birds that you saw on your trip!Love the shadow picture!Have a happy week!
Dimi...
I really enjoyed seeing the Outer banks for the first time this past summer, Eileen, so I am enjoying looking at your photos. Ther eis much more bird migration when you were there than during the summer. Santa Claus can be scary to a baby--this is a cute photo!
I don't mind. Your photos are wonderful !
Oh my, what stunning shots of the Outer Banks! It has been several years since I have been there but get to Carolina Beach as often as I can...which is NOT often enough! Have a great week!
I'm glad you are still going through your photos rom the Outer Banks -- they are all gorgeous. I don't think I would want to leave such a beautiful place.
Gorgeous sunrise and lovely quote. Poor Neill, one of the phases likely where the kiddies make strange.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Eileen.
I never get tired of your pictures. I just love coastal scenes. I think a lot of children cry when they see Santa. He's pretty scary.
It's good to be back to visit here and view your lovely pictures. They are always inspiring!!! Wishing you well!! Cathy
Aww- he is adorable! I love your sunrise shot- so gorgeous.
Such beautiful colours in your pictures! I can't decide which one I like most!
It's funny, I have a similar picture with shadows, taken in Australia, take a look if you like: http://www.miss-red-fox.de/2014/11/ipmk9-ein-flugticket-nach-australien.html
All the best and have a nice week,

A very nice collection of photos!
Your mosaics are always interesting and lovely, and I'm sure we're all still enjoying your trip. I sympathize with Neil - apparently I cried too!
I've been enjoying these photos Eileen. Especially liked the harrier ... what a solid looking bird! And poor little Neill!! Sometimes those trips to Santa are just torture. I could never get my son to sit with Santa. I have one photo of both my kids standing behind Santa while the dog sat on Santa's lap! Wendy x
Gorgeous area! I love the sunrise and sunset! Poor little fella! LOL!
Post away these great images! Love them all!
Your mosaics are amazing! Love the sunrise and sunset! Gorgeous!
Beautiful photos of the Outer Banks. A place I would love to visit!
Hi Eileen, The pictures today as usual, are wonderful! Glad you included the one of your Nephew and Santa. Cute! I think I cried the first time on Santa's lap when I was two. Your pictures of the Harrier are great! Neat bird. Have a fabulous coming week!
What a great group of images!! I really enjoyed the sunrise and sunset, it really is the most beautiful time of the day!!
Poor Neil, he's little yet, he'll get the hang of it!!
Your evocative photos make me smell and hear too! I can almost delight in the breezes too. Just wonderful. Thanks for sharing Neil too. :-)

Beautiful series of images. The sunrise is gorgeous.
I love the shots from your trip, especially the sun's reflection on the wet sand. Poor little guy is shy of Santa. So cute for us but not him.
Beautiful scenic and birds. It is one place I would love to visit.
Gorgeous place to hang out, Eileen. Poor little guy! Our first child was terrified of Santa the first time she saw him. We have a very similar photo. So cute, but so sad at the same time. We never took her little sister and brother to see Santa.
Love the sun pics . . . and the pelicans. Sorry your nephew went through the Santa terror!
(Cute pic though!)
Your photo's are all so beautiful Eileen. The birds the sun the moon and the sights. Wonderful. Have a nice week
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful collages are this.
I like the sunrise and sunset which are truly sublime.
Best regards, Irma
I love lake shots and sunrises/sets. Beautiful!
Nice shot. Poor nephew :(
Hello Eileen,
I am thrilled with those NC photos!
Magnificent sunsets and sunrises, you saw some widgeons, a duck I find particularly handsome!
Poor Neill, he seems to dislike father Xmas! LOL!
Keep well, enjoy your week!
Great sunrise for birding!

AW! I bet your grand nephew was scared! So many pelicans! WOW!
Beautiful photos, Eileen. The moon shot is lovely, as are all of your bird and landscape photos. There are some places that inspire one to take many, many photos.
That little man with Santa is a darling. Hope he soon warmed up to Santa.
I always find it fascinating how some children will cry with Santa...me I was always fascinated and happy with Santa....I for one do not mind your photos ever! Glad you shared them with us...
Love those sunset pictures but a special favourite was the one of the harrier hawk.
How beautiful Eileen, this is a place I've always wished to visit… thanks for taking us with you.
Great photos - I think anything to do with the sea and birds is very special! The sunrise is extra special!!
Wonderful presentation of exquisite photos! Love the Outter Banks and you captured it so well!
Santa made me cry when I was that age too ~ He is a cutie!
Happy Week to you,
artmusedog and carol
i love your festive header. so cute. i enjoy the shadow shot. i always wonder why those Santa shots are so popular? i remember one like that of me that has been shown over and over. ( ;
Poor little guy...he'll be traumatized for life...unless you take him to enjoy nature...:)JP
You took some fantastic shots from the outer banks. These are gorgeous.
Lovely set of images Eileen, that santa shot will be one to remember.
why would we mind going anywhere with you Eileen with views and sunsets like these!
Oh your poor great-nephew - I understand the feeling - it reminds me of me when I was 4!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and health and happiness in 2015. Thank you for another year of fabulous blogging sharing.
Hi! Nice captures of the sunrise and sunset. Your photos are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Eileen! I love all your bird photos and stunning scenery but fell in love with little Neill. I think he is a little younger than my great-nephew (who is 3). I'm betting next year, Neill will be all over Santa Claus, presenting his checked-twice list :) Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Dearest Eileen; Wow, Great pictures with sun rise and birds. Amazing number of pelican in the sunset scene,too☆☆☆ I LOVE the last picture of your great-nephew Neill with Santa, cute scared look he has♡♡♡
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
I don't mind if you post OBX pictures every week.. I loved loved loved that whole amazing area so much! Thanks for all the gifts you give us all year round ... Your beautiful photos always and for hosting SC! Merry Christmas to all at your house!
