HAPPY SUNDAY to all my friends!

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

Hi my friends,

Thank you for the kind comments from yesterday - and for today - and for tomorrow :))

Have a wonderful day, stay cool and stay protected.

ADD  COLORS  TO  YOUR  LIFE

Stormy clouds over the beach

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
~ Robert H. Schuller ~




Hi my friends,
thanks for all your nice comments, 

with your words you make my day - every day!


We went yesterday down to the beach and this is what we get to see: a storm approaching with dark hanging clouds over the beach. The last people there finally packed down their tent, getting ready to leave. Some minutes later big rain drops were falling on our heads. I love scenes like that!
Have a wonderful day!
Susanne

The First Bands of Tropical Storm Fay?

That was Folly Beach yesterday afternoon

This must be the first bands of tropical storm "Fay"

I like scenes like this and the sound of the big waves coming in to the shore

And there were also two guys out there, they don't cared about the weather nor the coming storm - that was exactly what they needed for their exciting kite surfing sport!

He came later to the beach with his kite and just started going out to the water. But he had to come back pretty soon, then suddenly the horizon was just black!

This kite surfing sport is big fun, you can see it here - and it was big fun also to watch those guys too!

And then it was time to run to the car, big rain drops started falling....

A BigThunderstorm Is Moving In

I promised you some days ago to show you more of those very dramatic thunderstorm clouds moving in over our heads, out of James Island.
A fantastic play of mother nature!

There were dark clouds out on the water...

and more dark clouds in the back...

and in between was the sun shining trough and made this dynamic scene

Big international traffic by the Ravanel bridge

Dolphins were swimming in groups in the bay area

A pretty place to sit down and relax, to watch and to enjoy nature

These five dogs needed a cool bath too on that hot
summer day late afternoon

Also friends found some time together to chat, watching the fishing pelicans and the boats going by. I love to enjoy afternoons like this!

Tropical Beach Scenes

I'm back to my "good old" Palm pictures again.... The pictures are new, but the subject is "old". And I have to tell you again: I love palm trees!

Single palm at Smather's Beach on a cloudy day

That looks like rain out there on the horizon!

Smather's beach is normally empty on a day like this....

...except a sleeping beach bum who is dreaming there on the bench, probably about some better days he had in the past.

Saturdays Rain and stormy Winds

It is not sunshine every day in paradise! Saturday we got soaked with heavy rainfall and strong winds, for hours!

But it seems, not all are scared of bad weather.

Cloud Impressions after the Storm

What a big and impressive cloud between my two palms in the yard!

This is the view to the south down in my street....

and this is the view to the north where more of the thunder clouds were forming - and it was raining very hard pretty soon again...

...and then, finally it was over!

Golden reflections in the water.

Yesterday the rain never stopped in paradise - Thunderstorms were rumbling on and off and it seems it will never end to be gray and wet. But to the evening finally it stopped and at sunset time we had these wonderful cloud formations around the house. Aren't they majestic and impressive? I had to take some pictures!

Stormy Clouds

Stormy clouds were forming yesterday evening at the beach and over the whole island and seconds later made you BIG raindrops running back to your car.

Official Start of Hurrican Season was 1. of June

That was yesterday! We had a dark, windy and rainy start of Hurrican Season 2007. Later in the day the weather man was announcing this all as tropical storm "Barry". Today the sun is back again in paradise - and every one is happy - of course.

And this is a old picture I made a half hour befor Hurrican Dennies came over Key West, in 2005. You can see how some people really enjoyed the waves at Whitehead Pier - it's like getting a free shower.

Fly Flay away....

This picture makes me to fly away where ever that will be. Maybe back to Europe, visiting my family, my kids, my friends...?

Where has the Sun gone?

It's still cloudy a little bit over the island. When will the sun be back again?

Es ziehen immer noch einige dramatische Wolken ueber die Insel und wir warten ungeduldig fuer das "Come back" der Sonne, welches uns die Wetterpropheten fuer heute versprochen haben.
