Wild Blue Wonders







Yesterday we left Knoxville for North Myrtle Beach.  Driving through the mountains, near Asheville, North Carolina, we encountered fog and smoke illuminated by the rising sun.
It makes for treacherous driving. The smell of smoke was strong, we didn't know the source of the smoke.



This eerie lake scene was shot from the car.  Such
odd colors to have come straight off my camera,
"as is."





More eeriness ...



and more.



The beautiful scene yesterday from our 11th floor condo.

 


The same scene with the hues of the setting sun.  We love
nothing more than sitting out on our balcony.  Wrap
around balcony I might add. :-)


Early to bed, early to rise ...

We were up at 4:20 AM, making our special
blend of coffee.  This "blending" is a blog
in itself.



Wild Blue Wonders ... mountains, sky and sea.  I was
thinking of us driving into the wild blue yonder but actually we
were driving into the wild blue wonders. 
  

Today we will be in search of fresh succulent jumbo (Clint's words here :-)) shrimp, inquiring about deep sea fishing, hitting Wally World for a few items, walking, thinking
about the "fresh succulent jumbo" shrimp, making the homemade
cocktail sauce for the fresh succulent jumbo shrimp, thinking some more about the fresh succulent jumbo shrimp ...


EATING THE FRESH SUCCULENT JUMBO SHRIMP!

North Myrtle Beach



Early this morniing, the temperature is around 50 degrees.
It is supposed to be in the mid 70s today.







Yesterday we left for Myrtle Beach right around 7 am as we had planned.
We were very thankful and blessed to have arrived safely.







Driving into the fog in the moutains near Asheville, NC.
This area is so beautiful!







We were pleased with our room and view, actually a two bed condo  that has everthing
we need.  Ocean Creek Plantation is built around an ocean created creek that
winds around the property.  We have already seen some beautiful
birds and other creatures including a "100% Natural Beast".  ;~0







The view from our balcony last evening.
It was warm enough to be comfortable sitting
on the balcony.











The sunrise this morning, this photo was not retouched, I felt it came out perfectly
as it was.




 

Thank you all for stopping by, I will "see" you all tomorrow!
