A busy couple of days

On Wednesday Ralph and I were up at 4:30 to get ready for our round of golf.  We were playing at Founders Club which is near Murrell's Inlet.  The temperature was beautiful at that time (74F).  We had a 7:00 a.m. tee time and were to first to get out.  It was the perfect time to play as it was going to be a very hot day.  We did our round in 3 hours and enjoyed the course.

While we were out golfing Laura and Jay took the kids out.  Jay took Brody to the RC park (Remote Control vehicles) to watch some racing there while Laura and the girls explored the Outlet Mall.  We all met up again in the afternoon and time was spent by the pool or swimming in the ocean.  I decided to walk to the Pier to try to get some shots and it looked like it might be a good afternoon for pictures.

As I reached the Pier I noticed the the colour of the clouds had started to change.  Oh, oh I thought, it looks like it might rain.  I turned around and started back towards the condo.  I was about 3/4's of the way back when the skies opened up and it poured.  Thankfully the rain was coming down towards my back and as I quickly made it back to the condo I placed my camera under my t-shirt to keep it dry.  It was quite amazing as I was almost fully dry on my front and totally soaked on my backside.  I thanked the Lord for this as I could have definitely damaged my camera with rain that came down.

Roughly 5 minutes after I took this picture, the rain poured out of the sky,  It lasted for about 30 minutes and then everything dried up again.

I got up to photograph the sunrise this morning.  There wasn't alot of cloud in the sky to add interest but the colours were still very pretty.

Ralph took a long walk today down the beach.  He said that he saw 4 sharks during his walk and the Lifeguards had cleared everyone out of the water.  He believes they were black tip sharks.  It was enough to discourage me from entering the ocean.

Time spent enjoying the pool.

The biggest shark tooth ever.  This is one happy young man.
