This would be paradise...

Man can now fly in the air like a bird, 
swim under the ocean like a fish, 
he can burrow into the ground like a mole. 
Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.


Hi my friends,
I had no time yesterday for a new post - there are many other projects I'm working on just now. To many, actually!!
I think I have to reset my priorities - once again....*smile*...

Thank you anyway for all the wonderful comments to my last post, 
love you all!
Wishing you a wonderful day - in paradise.
Susanne

Beach Snaps...

Way out to the beach at Folly's


"High" sand dune


Beach grass in evening light


The pier at Folly's


Wildflowers in the sand


It was the first time I let my good camera at home when we left yesterday the house. It was not planned to go anywhere and sudden we decided to do a ride out to Folly Beach. We both like that beach the best in Charleston.
But luckily, we always have the small 5.1 MP Sony Camera in our car and this snaps here were made with that one....well, that's all.
Happy Friday everyone!

Morning Walk at Folly Beach

The seagulls also are enjoying the warming sun



Family walk and so many questions for Dad



He is waiting for the next wave



The waves are rolling in to the shores



The pier at Folly Beach

This six-mile-long by half-mile-wide stretch of sandy beach sports condos, a fishing pier, and loads of history.

In the 1930s, the giant pier and pavilion (later destroyed by fire) rose to fame for billing such big-name acts as Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, the Ink Spots, and Guy Lombardo. Gershwin fans may be interested to know that George and Ira composed "Porgy and Bess" while staying on the beach. Although fire wiped out most of the beach's historical structures, the area is still a popular draw for surfers, picnickers, anglers, and sunbathers, and it offers a pleasant retreat from harried site-seeing for the brain-tired traveler.
