What a joy to be in Charleston in the spring! Temperatures in the 70s, and the smell of Jasmine everywhere.

The Final Myrtle Beach Post: The Beach!!!
This is the fourth and final post about Myrtle Beach Bike Week and my experience as a first timer.
One of the things that was a bit of a surprise to me about my trip to Myrtle Beach is that actually going to the beach did not seem like much of a priority. Me? At the first sign of the ocean, I pulled the bike over, breathed in the ocean air and relaxed into the view. I’m an Outer Banks, NC kind of woman … the Outer Banks is “beautifully natural, formed by centuries of wind, water and sand blown from the Atlantic Ocean, and home to a rich history; a place that inspires a true sense of adventure” (http://www.outerbanks.org/)
Even though Myrtle Beach is vastly different than a less developed beach community, it was during the very early morning hours that I found the ocean experience that I love.
We rode our bikes to the 2nd Avenue Pier, enjoyed breakfast at the Pier House Restaurant, and marveled at the view.
There’s just something about a beach, whether developed or more remote and quiet, that makes me so incredibly happy.
As did this fun time away with friends that I adore.
Rhodies in the Evening Light
Sometimes I’m home at just the right time to catch the evening light on the rhododendrons outside my front door. I wish I could take credit for them being there, but they came with the house when I bought it 16 years ago.
Different Colors / Different Evenings.
“Aren’t Daisies the Friendliest Flower?”
Like a Feather
I’m slowly working my way through the 290 photos I took over just 2 days …wow … too bad I have to go to work!
Spontaneous!
A Spontaneous 24 Hour Vacation = Many, Many Photographs to edit!
It’s going to take me awhile to review, delete, edit and post even just a few of them. Until then, this photo perfectly expresses the peace (and lovely fatigue) that I feel after an unplanned mini-getaway!
No Drought Here
One Stormy Day in May: From the Truck
This is the last of the series of Stormy Monday posts (see From the Bridge and From the Office).
The ride home continued to provide wonderful opportunities for photography. While all of us in SWVA (and in many other places I am sure) are ready for the sun to shine, the stormy skies have been beautiful!
Until the storms clear, I’ve been resigned to shoot from the truck, but I sure am missing my motorcycle!
Until then, at least I can enjoy views like this!
And if the sun shines this weekend, I ride!
One Stormy Day in May: From the Office
How fortunate am I to have this view when I leave my office at the end of each day?
These two photographs are very similar but one emphasizes the green and the other, the impressive cloud formations from all the storm activity we’ve been having here in SWVA.
Yesterday, I posted photos taken during this same storm system. Please look here if you missed them.
One Stormy Day in May: From The Bridge
While we are all ready for sun and the warmth that it brings, the storm and clouds made for amazing skies.
The daily rain has caused the New River to run over it’s banks in some spots and we have been under flood watch here in SWVA.
As an aside, I was on the bridge for about 20 minutes and had more fun as friends would drive by, wave and honk, and later text or call to tell me that they saw me.
Ya gotta love small city life!
