A lone surfer ventures out into the ocean at dawn in Isle of Palms, South Carolina

Isle of Palms is a city in South Carolina, on the slender barrier island of the same name. It has seven miles of wide, pristine beaches great for swimming, lounging, fishing, biking and kayaking.
Will be posting images from this area over the next two weeks. Here is an image of the beach awaiting sunrise.

Nature adds elements, a bush and rock, for a landscape composition at Roan Mountain Bald

Roan Mountain features a collection of rare plant life, including some of the most beautiful wildflowers in the Blue Ridge Mountains. During our visit we saw only a smidgen of wildflowers, but rhododendrons and flame azaleas were blooming (as posted previously).

Every year around the middle of June, the grassy balds of Roan Mountain and Grassy Ridge come alive with vibrant blooms of Flame Azaleas.

The most scenic of still-water bodies on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Price Lake is a must-see if you are traveling the Parkway through North Carolina. It is situated with a view across the lake of Grandfather Mountain’s Galloway Peak.
