I needed to get outside and start taking some pictures while the weather is nice.  I happen to be in downtown New Bern and due to COVID-19, Mumfest is a weekends event instead of carnival event over one weekend.  The city of New Bern been closing streets in the downtown area for pedestrian traffic and outside seating for restaurants.

Before I go out of a shoot, I like to check my equipment and clean the lenses and filters.  I decided to take some pictures of the plants on my deck.

Saturday was a perfect day in North Carolina.  It was in 80’s in afternoon with clear skies.  I decided to head to Atlantic Beach before the rain  comes in on Sunday.  I took some pictures before sunset, which was at 18:21.
