Living in the here and now...


The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.

Sunset at the Lake


Yesterdays sunset at Lake Washington



Hi my friends,

We drove out to Lake Washington to see the sunset. 
But the sunset yesterday was not that pretty like it was last Sunday, when the sky was colored red, like on fire. Talking about fire.... can you see the smog there in the background on the right side in the picture? I don't know anything about, but it looked like a bush or forest fire or another fire, but bigger sized.

Thank you so much for your comments to my star fish photo, 
it's very much appreciated.

Susanne

Coconuts, Coconuts...

Hi my friends,



I think, in this quote is a lot of truth involved, isn't it? ...*smile*... it's useful in many situations in life - so then, remember this words the next time....LOL...



Thank you all for the kind comments and compliments to my post. Love you all!

Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow again...

The First Bands of Tropical Storm Fay?

That was Folly Beach yesterday afternoon


This must be the first bands of tropical storm "Fay"


I like scenes like this and the sound of the big waves coming in to the shore


And there were also two guys out there, they don't cared about the weather nor the coming storm - that was exactly what they needed for their exciting kite surfing sport!


He came later to the beach with his kite and just started going out to the water. But he had to come back pretty soon, then suddenly the horizon was just black!


This kite surfing sport is big fun, you can see it here - and it was big fun also to watch those guys too!


And then it was time to run to the car, big rain drops started falling....

A day in Spring at Folly Beach

Beautiful colors of the water and the sky and some people were already enjoying the sunshine. This is the place to be on a day like this!


A place, where flying kites are not only for little boys...


A place where airplanes meet the clouds...


...and fourteen pelicans are flying over your head...


and you will find some still living shells in the water


and of course, where hubby has to take a closer look to it too - don't worry, we released it back to the sea.


The place also, where palm trees are giving a very tropical look to the scene - I felt almost like back in Key West :-)


...where the palm leafs have very strong colors...


..where black birds are singing in the limbs...


...and on the other side is his neighbor singing too, a brown bird. Can anyone tell me the real names for these little cute birdies?



Do this plant will have some flowers too? I'm pretty sure they'll do, later in the summer - because just now it's "only" springtime.

It's so much fun to spend some time at the beach - and it's big fun to live in Charleston!

Shade, shade, shade......


As a European I could never understand in the begin, when I came new to this island, why the houses here have so many trees around in the yards. Of course, the only one reason is to get enough SHADE, the most important thing in hot summer days down here, it's cooling off your house in a natural way too, not only with the running Air conditioner. Today I'm happy for so many trees as possible....

In Europe - and special in Switzerland where I was at home - we have not that many trees and not that close to the houses at all, they would be only covering up the beautiful view to the lakes and to the mountains. :-)
