SC Snow Event Remembered
Eight years ago on this date there was snow at the campground in SC where we had a place at the beach. I took many pictures and here are a few.

Tranquillity at Last
Well the traveling back and forth to SC three times a year for 15 years has ended. Six months here, and six months there every year has ended. We sold our place in the campground on the beach. It is bittersweet, but we are resigned that it must be. We have been going there since 1989, the first ten years in our motorhomes. The best thing is that we sold it to friends and their dream of having a place at the beach is now true and we sure hope they will enjoy lasting memories in their later years as much as we do already, even though it is a bittersweet experience for us.
I think I've taken pictures of every bush, tree and plant - that grows there. So many residents have beautiful flowers and my amateur photography efforts have given me great enjoyment. Now I'll even have a chance to renew my enjoyment of more relaxation and views of the autumn colors and local flowers and keep on snapping when I can. I have missed Autumn's full splendor in the mountains for the past 25 years!
Yesterday we visited our daughter, who lives nearby across town. She has the greenest thumb of anyone I know. I took 38 pictures in 1/2 hour as she was heading out to an appointment. Her garden is exceptionally beautiful and not tightly structured. She has varieties of flowers plus many vegetables that are thriving and are sure having a lot of full and healthy growth there! Even her koi came to the top of the small backyard pond to say hello. She can name every one of her plants and even has a special herb garden. I will go back to catch more blooms, especially for one of my favorites, Zinnias. Pop always had many of those around the house when I was growing up. Some plants are finished blooming but there are many more spectacular varieties of lilies to come!

Agave Bloom 2015 HD
OMG! Please notice I was so excited to finish this slide show that I made a mistake BEFORE sending to YouTube. Can you find it?
Hint! I thought I was perfect and knew how old I am. Guess not!

May Flowers HD
Two days of beautiful blooms and now rain expected for a few. OK. I'll read everybody's recent blog posts and then bring out a book.

Summer Has Arrived
The vacationers are having lots of fun here, but it is now way too crowded for us. There are kids on bikes, scooters, and roller blades to be found on all streets. The bigger ones zip around on the golf carts looking to meet the other sex. Of course! Basketballs bouncing constantly is an annoying sound. And the water slides - pools - well I won't tell you of the shenanigans that go on there by both youngsters and adults. Everyone is having tons of fun as the weather has been both extremely hot and wonderful.
I don't walk on the beach now like I used to. It is packed! The time to leave and head for our quieter and more peaceful summer has come. September is a good time to return as we have done for so many years.
I have observed nature at its best and photographed all of my personal interesting subjects during the past two months. We shall now decamp for the hills.

Everything is Coming up Roses
Oh! My goodness! There are so many beautiful roses throughout the campground. It seems the winter woes did them no harm. It is a bountiful year for the roses. This is only a tiny sampling and I have a difficult time omitting many of the pictures I took today. It was a rosy day for sure. I have never in the 15 years of riding on my golf cart throughout seen so many lovely blooms. Roses rule this year.

Do you see what I saw? Aren't they BEAUTIFUL!
Oh, by the way the past 5 days have been in the 90's!
