Hello and happy Friday, guys! Last week I promised that I would share photos I took with my new camera, so that’s what I am doing today. Just know, I still have no idea what I am doing. Best Buy (where we bought the camera) has classes once a month. It is becoming VERY clear that I need to take advantage of those. Having said that, the Sony 6500 does most everything for you. I am super impressed with the automatic lighting features. Everything is so much more clear. I will definitely continue to use my iPhone as well – it’s just so much faster, but I’m really excited to explore this new toy.

I took these photos in Pawleys last week. The sun was about to set and JP wanted to play around the water. The perfect night.

You can see how the lighting began to change as the sun went down. I love the colors of the sky. On the backwater, the sunset it orange and gold. Here on the beach, the sky turns purple and pink.

We love it when the tide goes out – the further it moves, the longer we can walk this stretch of rocks. 

Sunset on Pawleys Island is, indeed, a Happy Hour!

I don’t know about you, but I am SO glad the weekend is here. JP leaves with his dad today and I’m heading to the lake cabin with my BFF for much needed girl time!

Sunday morning we leave for Pawleys AT THE CRACK OF DAWN (ugh). I have some work in Charleston on Monday, so it will be a quick and busy trip. Of course, you know I’ll squeeze in a sunset or two while we’re there! 

JP’s homeschool started this week and I think it went pretty well. Although, if you ever want to feel (even more) inadequate as a parent, homeschooling is your ticket! I’ve taught school for over twenty years but, when it comes to JP, I am 110% intimidated.

I am so thankful for all of your comments, feedback and shares of my Alice Flagg post. I had no idea so many history buffs visited my little space each day. I’ve heard what you have to say and there is lots more where that came from, so stay tuned…

TGIF!
