Are you a fan of jazz and wanting to find some here locally? September 26 at First Presbyterian Church in Morehead City, (1604 Arendell St, the one that has the massive pumpkin patch each year), the Kenari Quartet will be kicking off the American Music Festival!

The American Music Festival presents live musical events featuring nationally and internationally renowned musicians to inspire, educate, and entertain diverse audiences while also providing special educational opportunities for school populations in our Carteret coastal community.

I don't often bring up my Real Estate career side of things in my posts on here; occasionally if I am doing a video and the topic comes up, or if I am doing a post on something that specifically comes from that side of my life, like a post about a good real estate attorney or something from my office. A follower asked me today how I get so many pictures of such diverse subject matter, and honestly, a lot of my pictures/videos/content come from things I experience as I travel around the area as Greg Moss, Realtor, Beaufort Realty.

That was the case tonight. I had been running all over the county today with things, but I ended up over off HWY 101. There is a group of properties I have listed there, and one of them closed today and I had to swap out the signs. I also had been waiting months for the sunset to get at the correct azimuth to be able to get good sunset photos off the waterfront lot: this evening it was finally where I could. In the summer, the sun is furthest north on the horizonal plane, so I had been waiting for months for it to creep south enough to get a good sunset photo shoot! This lot has spectacular sunset views but the best are from September to late spring when it has a direct line of sight of the setting sun. Did you know that we have approximately a 57 degree vector of where the sun sets throughout the year?

The sunset photos I get in the summer are quite different from the sunset photos I get in the winter, but they do have one thing in common; many of them are taken from waterfront properties where I have been blessed to work. Some of my most memorable evening photo shoots are from clients' westerly facing waterfront properties.

Whenever I bring up real estate on this, the Why Beaufort NC page, I am required to disclose that I am Greg Moss, Realtor, Beaufort Realty. That keeps me in compliance with both the NC Real Estate Commission and ethical guidelines. I don't post as much as my Greg Moss, Realtor, Beaufort Realty page as I do on here, but often the things you see on here are things that I experience going between showings, meetings, listing appointments, inspections, etc.

Recently I have had a number of folks, both sellers and people interested in real estate in the Crystal Coast area, have asked me if I could share more real estate info on here. I don't want this to be a specific real estate page. We (our area and I) are not defined solely by real estate, and I try to be as diverse in my posts as our area is. Can I cover everything, no, but on this Why Beaufort Page I try to cover as many segments of life here as I can, through my own personal lense, of course.

But there is no denying that Real Estate is a big part of my life and our area. In an effort to provide my clients, followers, and community with what many of you are asking for, I will do a little more real estate coverage on here, and I will endeavor not to make it covered to an annoying extent. Whenever I do include real estate topics on here, I will include that it is done in conjunction with the Greg Moss, Realtor, Beaufort Realty side of things.

Real estate decisions and choosing a real estate agent is one of the most personal and important decisions an individual, a couple, or a family can make. You are inviting them into your home, you are trusting them with one of your most expensive assets, and you are trusting them to work hard for you to help you achieve your current and future hopes and dreams. It is not a decision to be made lightly.

There are many excellent real estate agents in our area. I have been a good real estate agent for many folks in my 11.5 years of being an agent. Am I the right fit for everyone? No. Can I list and sell every property at the Crystal Coast? No, there is only one of me! For the clients I do work with, I work hard for them to be the best real estate agent I can be, whether I am helping them find the right home or land or sell their home or land. I am not trying to convince you to hire me as your agent, but if you are thinking of buying or selling property at the Crystal Coast, I would love to be considered!

There is no hiding I am a real estate agent, and I do prioritize that over the Why Beaufort NC page; I have to. It is my primary career, it is what pays for my family and much of what we do in the community, and when real estate is busier, I don't post as often. Everyone I have ever spoken to about that understands, and I appreciate your understanding!

Here is the link to the property I was visiting to photograph this evening, 851 Hwy 101, a 1.06 acre waterfront lot off of Wading Creek, just a few minutes north of downtown Beaufort.

Yesterday I took WAY too many photos, but it was because there were so many pretty things to see! Some of these were posted before, some of these have not been, but it really shows what you can see any given day around Beaufort, NC!

Captain Robert of Lookout Cruises sent us this fantastic video of the foal and its family on Shackleford Banks! Remember, the horses are wild and territorial, stay well back from them at all times!

The Bible tells us that 'Joy cometh in the morning'. Well, it comes in the evening too! And we certainly had a joyful evening today with all sorts of beautiful things everywhere we looked! After that downpour the sun broke through the clouds giving us a rainbow and an amazing sunset.

I was back and forth on Front Street this evening, and my travels gave me some pretty special sights. Birds and old fish houses, boats and the Front Street Tree Tunnel...just spectacular sights everywhere you looked.

The juvenile green heron I have seen many times recently at Harborside Park enjoyed posing for me in the sunset, and it was so neat watching the sun set behind the Duke University Marine Lab on Pivers Island. Cruisin Tikis Beaufort scooted by on Taylor's Creek, as did some rowers. The gentleman out fishing on the Rhumbar dock certainly had a front row seat for a great show tonight!

Thank you Lord for the beautiful things we get to see everyday. We are truly blessed!

Horses and Dolphins! All I need now is Julie Andrews singing 'these are a few of my favorite things! What spectacular sights!

The picture of the family of horses with the foal was sent to me by Captain Rover of Lookout Cruises; he spotted those on Shackleford Banks while on his 'horse and dolphin spotting cruise' today!

The other horses were ones on the Rachel Carson Reserve that I spotted from Front Street.

The dolphins were active in Taylor's Creek most of the afternoon...so fun to see!

Another situation where the music perfectly matched! Only thing that could have made it better is if the song was titled 'Wipers Out'! You better believe I was tapping along on my steering wheel...this has been a favorite since childhood!
