Vacation....

We are on vacation this week! We have come to Fripp Island which is in the low country of South Carolina (near Beaufort and Hilton Head). We have never vacationed at this beach before but it is almost like a resort with houses instead of hotels! Pat Conroy lives on this island! There have been a lot of movies made down here also...parts of Forrest Gump and Prince of Tides are two of them. We arrived last night and were greeted by deer on the front lawn (friendly deer). Apparently they (Fripp) are known for their deer! There is only one bridge onto the island so it is quite amazing to see all the wildlife. I'm sure you will get beyond your fair share of deer pics this week!

I hope I can share our vacation in a way that it will be fun to read about.... :-)

A bug's life...

What are the chances I could get this close and he sat still?

Remembering...

I have had my nephew, James, all week so I took he and Hayden down to the gardens and snapped some pictures and this one stood out as a winner! :-)

Wow....

what a sunset! It was thinking about developing storms but decided not to...instead I got a fun picture! :-)

My turn...

for a softball game! We haven't had a game in about three weeks due to schedule, forfeits (the other teams) and rain! We did win... 16 -1! Picture credit tonight goes to Brent! :-)

Night Eyes...

We have tons of owls in my neighborhood and this one was the best I could do with the camera. He was on to me...I chased him from 3 trees!


Father ~ Daughter....

"Catching" Brent and Hayden enjoying their time together.... nothing sweeter!

Yum...

We went to our favorite Sunday lunch spot and stopped by the fruit farm! We picked up some ripe early peaches, blackberries and of course some delicious strawberries!

Hungry? :-)

Sunday morning in the gardens...

I can't take credit for the first picture...Brent took that one!

Ever heard of....

the Lizardman? Hayden and I went on an adventure today which took us across this ever so famous bridge! Watch the CNN video from March...#9 under references on the Lizardman link above.

Only in South Carolina....


All good things must come to an end....

Last night was a double header for Hayden's team in the blistering heat! Unfortunately, they ended the season without a win! Hayden did get a hit this year which was very exciting! The second picture is the medal ceremony.

Summer already?!?!?!

Our temperature hit 100 here and is expected to exceed that the next 3 days! The pool was the place to be!

Fun shot...

Photography is a form of art. Therefore, I know that what I think is cool may not be what you think is cool but since this is my blog :-).... I get to post my cool art!

Enjoy!

PS This picture is turned the right way the water fountain was shooting sideways.

Tennis anyone?

Hayden started back with weekly tennis clinics...a head start before tennis team starts back in the fall at school.



A new do...

Hayden got her hair cut today...pictures don't do it justice but it's cute!




Another ballfield night...

It was Brent's night to play ball! They won....


Okay so the camera seems to take good still shots but not so hot on the moving ones...I know it could still be the user so I will keep working on it. Any tips would be appreciated...
