Highly recommended. Without the summer crowds it is delightful. The beach, the islands, the NC Aquarium just down the road and temps this wek in the 60s and 70s. Ahhhhhhh! :P

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Thank you.
Check with the ferry owners. The wife said they had been mating recently for Spring. Not sure if how often they mate. If that's true, it won't be long before foals appear. The Park Service would also know since they control the population (by injecting males) and also
brand" them with liquid nitrogen That caused the hair to come in white so those folks know every one of them.

These are just awesome. Talk about a sight to see!

Beautiful ponies! I was trying to pick my favourite photo, but I can't - they're all excellent! Thanks for sharing!
