Greens of Summer

No Kodachrome here. The sun poked through the trees to put some dappled
light on the wild hydrangeas.

Fish Bed

I took a walk beside a creek close to my church looking for shots of birds &
butterflies. I saw an orange blob in the creek and went for a closer look. I saw a fish bed, a small collection of pebbles with several adult fish and maybe a hundred orange fingerlings. When I got home, I was very disappointed to see the soft focus. I went back a few days later, but the fish and the bed had vanished. I would not normally want to post a picture that wasn't crisp, but the subject is so cool, I made an exception.

Cooper River Bridge

The new Cooper River Bridge has been completed. The longest suspension
bridge in North America joins Charleston to Mt. Pleasant. For the last
couple years, we have seen it grow from pilings to tower over the harbor and
over the old bridge. Last weekend, they let pedestrians on to walk and
enjoy the view.

Bad Cloud

Tonight we went to see the Greenville Bombers play ball. All day long rain
had been threatening. We saw these ominous clouds and left the stadium,
then the bottom dropped out. That's why I always carry my camera in my
trunk.

Wisps

The breeze blew back the wisps of sparks and created a delicate blue
blossom.
