Edisto Beach State Park, SC






Are you a beach fan? We tend to go during the cooler months ...usually to celebrate our wedding anniversary in November. Walking on the beach during those cool moments, with not that many folks around is just so peaceful. Perfect. Our favorite state park in South Carolina was Hunting Island State Park "post 1" & "post 2". With all the recent hurricanes that have brought such destruction to that state park, the campground we did stay in is completely gone, we have yet to see what is left ...but we have heard that they made into a day use area. So sad to know it is completely gone! What we did enjoy about this state park it is similar in the "water front camping feel" but it is just not Hunting Island SP! Not sure if you have never found a spot that just stays in your heart and you just love it to pieces??! We were there late Nov 2019. Are you a shell keeper ...as I have gotten older I don't take them, I like to think that there are kids or older folks out there who might not have ever seen a whole shell, so I want them to find them. I can live without. I saw a camper who was drying out "sand dollars" ...I wish to report ...I have never seen a full - in one piece SAND DOLLAR ever ...like I mean picked one up and said "Look Ya There" now that would be cool, I think you have to be up early and search for them??! Now I am not saying that others should or shouldn't collect shells, I am just saying what I prefer to do. Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well today. Be Well & Blessed!! Beth ( ;

I enjoy your beach photos. Living smack in the middle of the prairies, beaches are all manmade. I am not a water person, so these beaches hold no appeal to me. A natural, ocean beach would be fun to walk along.

Hello, Beth

I do love the beaches. I am sorry your favorite campground was destroyed in the hurricane. I have a shell collection from collecting years ago, but I leave the shells I see now. It is shame that people are taking the live shells, like the sand dollars. Take care, stay safe! Have a great new week!

Perfection. We’ve been to that beautiful beach. Our granddaughter and her husband lived near Charleston for several years and we visited them pretty often (staying in our RV) ... so much history (I enjoyed your Plantation post above) and the beaches are stunning.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

This post is in memory of my friend: Tina Forrester aka. "CameraGirl". She and her husband were lost this week in a tragic car accident. Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond" . We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
