Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Time to Relax

Amy at shareandconnect.wordpress.com gives us this week’s prompt – “time to relax”.

Between working 50 – 60 hours a week, blogging, taking classes and running to doctors appointments, I have little time to just sit and relax.  But despite that, living at the beach makes it simple for me to follow Amy’s suggestion.  

The beach is less than a mile from home and work so it’s easy to grab my camera and pop over to the beach for a quick walk before heading home.  And with the soft light at that time of day, I always get a beautiful, calming shot.

And on the weekends, hubby and I get the chairs, umbrella and towels together and we sit at the water’s edge for a couple of hours.  Watching the tide come in and roll out, seeing the children playing in the surf and watching the sun setting is the best prescription for what ails you.

Laundry Day – The Marsh Walk Way

The Marsh Walk is a wooden boardwalk along a natural saltwater estuary in Murrells Inlet – the seafood capital of South Carolina.  In addition to watching the native wildlife, you can also enjoy water sports, great seafood restaurants and music.  The Marsh Walk is one of our favorite places to enjoy a lazy afternoon.
