Shem Creek

Ronnie and I stayed on Shem Creek on our recent visit to Charleston.  It was relaxing and interesting being right on the creek.

Not sure what this was--maybe a floating art gallery.  

 And I think maybe this was overkill.

A Wreck at The Wreck

While visiting Charleston Ronnie and I ate at a local "joint" called The Wreck.  It wasn't much of a looker but the food was great!  It is located near the mouth of Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant.  This wreck was in their back yard.  Read more about the restuarant and check if out of you are in the area. http://www.wreckrc.com/

Waiting For A Breeze

The Lake-Our Favorite Place

Ronnie and I spent Monday-Thursday this week at my parent's lake cottage. It was a relaxing time, except I had to go to school every day. But Ronnie cooked supper each night and we listened to the frogs and crickets, fished a little from the dock, and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I had a pretty busy week at school so it was a nice respite each evening.

Meredith and Reese have a lot of Charleston prints in their home and Reese loves Shrimp boats. This is actually a shot he took with my camera when we were in Gulf Shores 2 summers ago. I editing the image to bring out some of the colors. It turned out pretty well. Gulf Shores, Alabama--July 2008. Taken by Reese Alexander-son-in-law.

Wordless Wednesday

Catch of the Day

Technically this is not the best shot but it is one my favorites. This is my dad and he loves to fish. I was able to capture this shot from his dock as he fished in the cove. The fish wasn't so big and the picture isn't the best but I captured a moment that I will have forever. This is how I would like to remember my dad. Sometimes photos are about what it means to the photographer more than just being the greatest shot. At least that is my opinion.
