1. Space. The wide open spaces in Hilton Head take my breath away. Suddenly, I can breathe...the stress just floats away. If only I could go there once a month instead of once a year...
2. Sweet. Our 21-year old daughter is in a serious relationship now, so this year her boyfriend came to the beach with us. It was our first time having "a boyfriend" be part of our vacation experience. It went really well - he's a great guy! I captured this shot of them walking in front of us...I thought it was a very sweet photo.
3. Hanging Around. This was a teeny, tiny flower hanging out and growing wild near the marsh. It was no larger then a pea. I went in close with my camera and was thrilled with the detail once I uploaded it.
4. Funny Face. Can it count that I'm sure I made a very funny face while capturing this image? lol...I'm scared to death of spiders, but the photographer in me won out and I'm glad it did. I'm pretty sure a little scream of terror squeaked out of me while taking this photo. (And he really wasn't big at all - I just got in close.)
5. Sunset. I captured this one evening on our way back to the beach house from the ocean. The light was just right - those precious few minutes at sunset when the sun's rays edge everything in a beautiful, golden light.

Lovely photos. I know that day is coming for us when the serious relationship will happen for our daughter, and that the boyfriend will become part of the family. Glad that things went really well.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and I can only imagine that squeek of terror when you took the spider photo. You should see the spider that was in my bed at the cabin. My squeak was more like a huge series of screams. Thought it was a tarantula.
ReplyDeleteEveryone of your shots are so great, I couldn't pick a favorite! The details on the flower are exquisite and the spider is amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet and hanging around!
ReplyDeleteYour set is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI loved your Wide-opened Space Shot and the Sunset - Both look so peaceful.
Sweet - Very charming, isn't young love grand!
Hanging Around - Exquisite Flower
Funny Face - Yeah I kinda feel the same about spider's but there is something about photographing them that just makes them a little less scary - Yours is a beauty.
that spider is scary looking. great pic of the web. yep... i remember our first camping trip taking the girl's boyfriends! it changed the dynamics of the trip - but, it was certainly fun for all of us to share our love of camping with two new guys. I'm sure your daughter's boyfriend had a blast! the pics are incredible.
ReplyDeleteI love the couple walking together photo. It is just so tender in its composition... Time is not passing... it is flying.
ReplyDeleteI love all the shots. Stunning light on them.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! If you look closely at the spider's body, it looks like a clown's face with his head tilted back laughing with his mouth open. Funny face indeed! I'm visiting from Kim and Xanthe's BTS class.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I like the little flower in hanging around.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great selection of pictures here. I love the one of your daughter and her boyfriend. Did she know you were taking it?
ReplyDeleteEllie, no, she had no idea. :)
DeleteBeautiful. Love the last two.
ReplyDeleteYou made a wonderful set. They are all such nice pictures. I really like your sunset and your sweet is just too... sweet :)
