SC SUNSETS

I was invited to an 80th birthday party for one of my neighbors and her family rented 3 houses across from the ocean and on the marshes.  You know how I adore sunsets and I was not disappointed on last Wednesday when I viewed these beautiful sights and snapped away before leaving.   I love the bell in the first picture.

 I never get tired of looking at God saying "Good-night"--priceless!

Tho' my house is a shambles with packing for my move, I am glad I took time out to attend the Birthday party for my friend and did not miss a lovely evening.





Sending blessings your way for today and always,

My wild heart to yours...

Spring Babies in SC

My Cup runneth over with the spring babies coming to my back yard!

These are the Canadian Goose Goslings.

Here is the Mama Mallard with her 12 ducklings close behind.

This was the first I had seen her new hatchlings.  She had brought them to eat the fallen seed from the feeder outside my window.  So precious!

Making their exit and on to the neighbors...

And then the graceful Mute Swan family, Mama leading, three signets following proudly and Papa guarding the rear.

Beautiful scene from my den window this morning, I am so blessed...

Thank you for coming and please leave a comment, it is easy to do and I love reading them.

My wild heart to yours...

Good night and Good bye to 2012....

♫♫Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind...♫♫





   
I said goodbye to 2012 and it was not a good year for me.  All first holidays without my beloved Bill, it sure was hard to get through...  And ringing the New year in, I did not even watch on TV, no Bill to give a kiss at midnight so I tried not to think of it.
I worked yesterday first time since October and was so happy for the business of the day.  Today is a brand new day in a brand new year and I am looking forward to a great granddaughter due the day after Bill's passing January on the 27th. God replacing sadness with JOY!  Bill would have been so happy!!



   Many others have had to deal with loss and depression this last year and I am praying for all and wishing them great blessings in 2013.  Many good things have happened in my life on the 13th of the month so maybe there will be many good things to happen in a whole year of "13" LOL!  My Dad was born on December 13, 1907 on a Friday so I have never been superstitious. :)

  MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED IN THIS NEW YEAR AND MAY OUR NATION HAVE PEACE AND RETURN TO ONE NATION UNDER GOD. 

Huntington Beach SC trip

Saturday, my daughter Barbara and Darrell invited me along to a trip to Hungtington Beach, SC.  It is only minutes away from where I live and we go there often to take pictures of the wonderful wildlife as you know.  This time we were surprised to see flocks of Pelicans!  I have never been this close to them before.  Usually they are flying just barely above the ocean waves and not too near the shore.  So it was our lucky day!

They were so large and beautiful all facing the wind and sitting in a sun spot on a tiny patch of land in the marsh.

And here is a Stilt above running in the shallows and below are 2 Egrets fishing in the marsh.

Then we came upon this beautiful Blue Heron walking along the causeway bank in the dried grass.

This is a foot print in the shallow water in the sand, perhaps a Raccoon? 

All in all, another wonderful visit!

If you have time, go to my TWO Happy blog for pictures of Fall leaves finally in SC!  Thanks for following and come again soon!

Almost forgot this beautiful picture of wild flowers, love the lavender color on these "tiny whisk brooms".

Fall at Bass Lake

Autumn is such a picturesque time of year!  And our three day camping trip to Bass Lake, SC was not a disappointment!

The reflection on the lake every morning was like glass! How we love nature in all her glory.

The first night's sunset was just so beautiful and brilliant in color!

Hubby caught several of these catfish that give a terrific fight and are fun to catch!  We always catch and release and freed him back to the lake to grow bigger.....

And of course I had to take a picture of the October Moon!  I had my new camera with me, the Pink one-ha!  And I am very pleased with the photos that I was able to get.

And last but not least, I had to have my pumpkin lites on the camper for the last night there.  It was so peaceful and my hubby Bill slept well to the sound of near by train whistles which we both enjoyed immensely.  If you want to go to a lovely wild place, stop at Bass Lake Campground in SC.  We are definitely going again on Bill's week off of treatment in a few weeks.

Thank you so much for stopping by my little Korner of the world.  I appreciate you all and love your comments!!  Come again soon.

And goodie, I get to use my Pooky's Grandma Witch cartoon that I created last Halloween!  Enjoy! Pooky's Grandma is very outspoken but very sweet and she loves everyone.  She is full of wisdom and smiles.
