Photograph taken 3/19/12, foggy morning @ Trails End and Whiskey Creek located in Wilmington North Carolina.

On a foggy morning at Trails End and Whiskey Creek, the world felt hushed and hidden. A soft mist clung to the water’s edge, blurring the line between creek and sky. Boats rocked gently in the silence, their outlines ghostly against the grey. Somewhere in the distance, a heron lifted off with slow, deliberate wings. Locals say mornings like these are when the creek remembers its stories—told in whispers only the fog can hear.
