Nearer, My God to Thee.
             That's the way I feel when I walk beside the sea.

                             with a special love for the rural way of life and the glory that nature displays.

      I am pleased to announce that my newest adventure in writing, "Summers at Old Nags Head: Boyhood "Glory Days" of the the 1950s and '60s" is now available both in paperback (Amazon Prime) and E-book (Kindle Direct).  It is my story of the joys, adventures and sometimes stormy days in the first eighteen summers of my life on those beautiful shores. I wrote it to keep those wonderful days for posterity, for it was a different time and one that was oh, so special. It's a lot of fun with history, weather issues, and the local people all weaved into my story. For, you see, I am the son of a native Outer Banker and the great-grandson of the twenty-eight year Keeper of Bodie Island Light, and wherever I find myself, my heart still burns for the Outer Banks.  Here are the links and more will come later. Just copy and paste to your browser.

                                                      GOD, COUNTRY, AND LIVING WITH NATURE

Hi, I'm James Dick and I write about nature and all of her many components. God gave us a wonderful gift when he gave us dominion over the earth and all things therein and I believe that learning and experiencing the joys and beauty of nature is the best way to understand what He expects of us.  From the beautiful beaches and sea, the topic of my recent book, to the many special animals that He created, we are responsible for treating all things as he expects.  And now, after a long life in the Army and then private business, I have retired to a rural homestead where I can "see and feel" nature around me in all things, be it the beautiful sea or a dark forest.

Here I am with two of my boys,Val and Sal, two Great Pyrenees half-brothers who serve as our shepherds, guarding all living things that reside here. And you will see, if you look at my "Life Around Us" and "My Book Page" menu items at the top of the page, you will see some of my writing projects as well as animal nurturing projects in action.

I also write a regular almost  daily blog, see menu for link above, about God, nature and all that it includes and yes, even some current events and politics. I've recently cut way back on the politics, preferring to spend most of my time on things that are important with regard to the environs in which we live and the things we share it with.We can't escape politics totally, however, because politicians are the one who commit us to spending and often not in the best of ways. But it is part of life so we all must deal with it in our own ways.

So thanks for visiting my website: look around and enjoy yourself and I hope you see something you like.  Have a blessed day.
