Wordless Wednesday - Shark

Skates & Rays

We went to Ripley's Aquarium for Mother's Day. There were quite a few people there, but not as crowded as I would have expected. Touching the sharks, skates, and rays is always my favorite part of visiting there. This photo is taken from the bottom of the observation tank.

Sam & Patsy at the Beach

Here's a photo taken at Myrtle Beach State Park. If you haven't been there, get a park pass and check it out. In addition to the beach, you can go out onto the pier. There is a nice wooded area for picnics. If you forgot your bodyboard or sunscreen or need something cool to drink, there is a shop right over the water.

Sunset in Hawaii

How about a break from the Atlantic to look at the Pacific? Here's a photo I took in Hawaii last year, in Kona. This beach is lah a'loa, or 'very sacred'. This part is good for bodyboarding when the tide is lower... not the part in the picture... that is all volcanic rock. I'm standing on a clear beach taking the photo. Nearby is excellent snorkeling.

Myrtle Beach State Park

Today's beachy photo comes from Myrtle Beach State Park. You can never have too many pictures of the beach. Never.

Backyard Sunrise

Since the coffee hadn’t hit my system when I saw this, I could convince myself the dew on the grass was a sprinkling of frost or snow. Opening the door and actually going outside sorta dispelled the illusion.

Spring Jasmine

I’m clearing photos from my cell phone. Here’s a jasmine blossom from my garden. Jasmine is great. It smells beautiful, it’s evergreen in South Carolina, plus it’s practically impossible to kill.

Garden City Pier

Here's the pier at Garden City, SC. It's the closest beach to my house... about five minutes away. Pretty, isn't it?
