Summer Crowds

    I just love photographing crowds of people. When I take snapshots from a distance, there are so many details the camera captures that I don't see when I take the shot. It is cool to look at the image later on my computer to see the interaction between people and what they are doing in the photo. I especially enjoy photographing vacationers at the beach since it is one of my favorite places to be. Most of these where taken on the beach at North Myrtle, but a couple are from the Boardwalk area.

Greenville Day Trip

   My husband and I are always trying to think of fun day trips we can take that are within a couple of hours from home. While we love visiting the mountains, we have been to many places up there and it is hard to think of somewhere new to go. Not to mention, we have a 16 year old, so we want the trip to be entertaining for him and not cost us a fortune.
   It was supposed to be pretty weather last Saturday so we decided to visit Greenville, SC. I had heard that the downtown area and Falls Park were really nice, so I wanted to check it out. We walked down Main Street first, checked out the Mast General Store, and then on to see the park. I was impressed with the large waterfalls and all the quiet little places to sit and people watch. Jeremy is not into climbing rocks like he used to be, but several years ago he would have been all over the large boulders in the creek. There is a bridge that goes across the water, but it moves a little and I was very aware of the motion, so that made me feel a little wonky.
  After hanging out in the park for a while and chatting with people, we met up with an old friend of Mikes to have dinner. I was so glad we decided to make the trip. I love visiting new places, but best of all, I love spending time with my guys!

There was a girl playing guitar and singing, so of course my fellas had to watch, being the
guitar lovers that they are. We ended up meeting her, and she is really talented.
