Harbor Island Day 4 wordless

Harbor Island, SC Summer 2013

Harbor Island Day 3

it's a daily ritual at the island

the shrimps boat come and go

several times throughout the day
and we sit back, relax and watch them

 

 

hard at work
with no seemingly pattern to their course

and with them always come

the dolphins and the pelicans
(so fun to watch) up close
you could even differentiate the fins of the dolphins
and there was one particular dark, and uneven fin
I would look for everyday

 

 and then after a long day

as the sun fades the boats return back to the marina

just to do it all over again tomorrow

 

 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

-Mark Twain

 

 

 



Harbor Island Day 2

thanks to the tropical storm

the first day consisted of scattered showers

that quickly forced us to run into the house

from the beach

after a long day of back and forth it finally brightened up

and we headed out to explore the island

 

 

 

low tide was the perfect time to walk out

in search of the perfect conch shell

seeing this sight

was one of the highlights of the week for me

do you see the rainbow?

this was our view to the east

and then we turned around to make

our way back to the beach house

 



 

and saw this up ahead

and we kept walking

as it was setting

just showing off for us

and making me remember why this

is my favorite place to be

 

 

I always say that the times in my life when I've been my happiest are the times when I've seen a sunset. -Chris Evans.

Harbor Island Summer 2013 Day 1

 

12 hours after leaving Ohio

we arrive at the gatehouse to check into

our little secret haven for the week

and these flags just made me smile

 

 

I love the great state of South Carolina

the Spanish moss, the palm trees, the dozens of little islands

and I just love their state flag

to pieces

 

 

the first day of our vacation consisted of

arriving and crashing onto the nearest flat surface

in sheer exhaustion

just happy to be in a beautiful place

day 2 was a little more exciting

stay tuned....
