There were some nice clouds in the sky as I made my trek around the neighborhood this afternoon. The forecast had been predicting rain for the last three days but the weather has been almost perfect considering it’s still tornado season.

Outer Banks DLWS is in full, today was our second day in the field. We started the morning off with a visit to a working fishing harbor where we found some fantastic photography as the light danced in and out of the clouds.
Stepping out of my photographic comfort zone, I stuck with Joe McNally for a bit today as he positioned Stephanie in a field of tall brown grasses. It was a great morning of photography.

I got a real treat today. During a break in our location scouting, the DLWS staff visited the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
It’s humbling to walk the grounds, where a little over a hundred years ago, Orville made that historic flight which changed our lives forever.

It’s great to be back together with the DLWS family here in North Carolina. We had a chance to get out today and do some location scouting for the upcoming workshop that begins Sunday. There are miles of shoreline to explore and lighthouses visit. Being my first time here I just enjoyed the day taking in all the new sights and the great company.

A few more images from Kauai. It was a fun week spent with good friends and new acquaintances photographing a beautiful place.

The DLWS gang was up and going early this morning to catch a sunrise on the beach. The weather was changing quickly and the waves at times were specatular.
It’s a tough way to start the day ….. walking the beach and taking in all the sights.

Another wet morning. The overcast sky does cooperate for photographing water falls but
I’m ready for the sky to clear and the big cumulus clouds to appear.

It was a full day out in the field today even though the weather was gloomy and rainy most of the day. Tomorrow the fun begins as DLWS Kauai begins.

The DLWS staff didn’t get much scouting in yesterday as Moose and Sharon generously treated us to a play day on the island of Kauai.
As we learned some of the islands history, we took a float trip through a series of of ditches, tunnels and flumes on land that was once a sugar plantation. The amazing part was that these ditches and tunnels were all hand dug by Chinese laborers back in the 1800’s to irrigate the sugar cane fields.
No trip to Hawaii would be complete without going to a Luau.

It’s great to be here in Kauai with the DLWS family. The next few days the staff will be scouting for photo locals for the workshop that begins Sunday.
I’m looking forward to a fun filled week!
