Murrells Inlet, SC 7.16.2011

Scott and I got a wild idea to go to the beach for the weekend. Scott said Friday morning “Let’s go to the beach tonight!” I said “O that sounds good!” This summer has been so hectic with Scott’s work and also the church stuff that he is doing that we figured we’d better just go. It was so refreshing to be alone together. Unfortunately, we only had Saturday and Sunday. We are now back to the crazy life we lead.

I got a teleconverter for our camera. It doubles the distance of your original lens. I wasn’t sure if I liked it trying it at home. It works real well for trips when you want to get a close up, but don’t want to be right next to your subject (example: alligator out in the water!) I also got a lot of cool pictures of pelicans. You know how I love the pelican!

I haven’t posted our 4th of July pictures yet, but I’ll do that soon.

My porch is almost done. Scott only has a couple of items left to do and then he can call the inspector. Those few items were some of things we should have been doing this weekend instead of enjoying ourselves. The saying is, I think that can wait!

I took over 400 pictures so here is just a sampling of them. I was obsessed with the ocean and took about 150 of that. I also got a lot of the sea grass. Good thing that I wasn’t using film like the old days! Sorry about all the captions. When I like a picture, I put a caption under it so that I know to upload it to the website. If you know what the birds are, you can e-mail me and then I will get the right captions on them.
