This mosaic turtle sails through the air outside the Quarter Moon Bookstore on Topsail Beach. At Christmastime, the pansies were blooming in all their glory in the sunshine. So beautiful.

    Hard to believe there's no snow -- when I lived in Connecticut, we had plenty each winter. The turtle is really neat too!
