Adventures in the Low Country pt. 1

I am fresh off a mini vacay from Charleston, South Carolina. Some friends and I drove down to attend a writers’ conference and to relax a bit.  I had a great time on my first visit to Charleston and can’t wait to get back there for another visit.

Luckily, one of my friends is a Charleston native that was a licensed tour guide once upon a time.  She loves her city and is a wealth of information about it.  I spent nearly a week there and I know we only scratched the surface of the history, spirit and tradition Charleston.

I’ve decided to do a few blogs on some of my favorite things from the Charleston trip. First up:  The sunrise

I love being in nature (on my terms that is-lol) and being surrounded by its beauty.  I have a growing 3×5 photo collection– name insipired by a John Mayer song of the same title– which contains my attempts to capture nature’s beauty as I see it.  Most of my 3×5 pictures are images of the sky, sun rises and sun sets. I find the sky to be one of God’s most interesting and ever changing canvases (people are #2 on that list, but that’s a blog for another day).

Here are just a few of my favorite 3×5 moments from Charleston:



This pic is from my first morning in Charleston, it was my first glimpse of the  ocean.  While my friends took their morning walk, I enjoyed the quiet and peacefulness of the morning

In this one, the light from the rising sun makes the sky look like its streaked with pink cotton candy.

This morning I was lucky enough to catch the sun as it was rising with the waves gently crashing on the shore. 

And I saved the best for last. This is absolutely one of my favorite shots from the trip. This is another morning I caught the sun rising, but this time against a beautiful blue sky with thin, cottony clouds
