Apache Pier

On Friday we ventured out once again on what will probably be our last camping trip of the season. To keep expenses low I booked three nights at Apache Family Campground at Myrtle Beach, SC. While the campground proved to be less than desirable, we stuck it out. Our primary reason for this trip was to see The Oak Ridge Boys. Unlike the campground, they did not disappoint! Dispite their advanced age they were dynamic and brought back memories of their early years. Wish I could have gotten pictures of them.

Prior to the concert we took our dog Roco and went out onto the beach. It proved to be as good a backdrop as any to get a few shots. Hope you enjoy.

This is my favorite. Waves breaking under the pier.

I have lots more photos but they are similar to these. I like to take multiply shots of the same thing to create variety and to see any changes. Thanks for joining me on the beach.

Have a blessed day.

A Beach Experience

Thousands of people each year flock to the beaches just to get a glimpse of the rolling waves, massive piers and calming sand dunes. The images below were shot several years ago. They are a reminder of calmer times.

A Pier Experience

While hundreds of people walk on these rough wooden planks daily to catch what lies beyond, others are satisfied just to relax in their shadow.

Fading Dunes

These sandy dunes are just an example of the deteriation of the beaches. While the Sea Oats fight to hold back each grain, beach traffic and harsh weather has taken it toll on the environment.

Sunrise At The Beach

Other than the tramatic sunsets, this image is a scene everyone would love to wake up to.

Our environment and lifestyle have deteriorated greately since these shots were taken. This is a reminder that we cannot afford to take even one moment for granted.
