Apparently what I like do to for relaxation is go to my lake, grab a Corona beer, eat macaroni and cheese with chopped up Johns Island tomatoes, read a book and paint my toe nails. Not bad for a Friday night. I took my new bike so I could go for a spin this morning.
The plastic soldier was in my backpack so I let him free to ride around.
You could skip the nail polish part.
ReplyDeleteWhat book are you reading in that serene area?
ReplyDeleteI read "Return to Sullivan's Island" by Dorothea Benton Frank. I am a sucker for books written about the lowcountry.
DeleteSounds ideal.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty nice. I haven't broken out the kayaks yet but it was a good day for it. Soon.
DeleteGreat shots. You could send the corona shot for a print ad. Have a good ride.
ReplyDeleteYeah...I am not a big beer drinker but I enjoy a Corona now and then.
DeleteLOL at your plastic soldier. One of my coworkers (a geologist) has a sock monkey that he likes to pose in his pictures. Sock money in a mine, sock monkey on a drill rig... LOL.
ReplyDeleteLake, bike, beer, book - great combo, sounds relaxing!
Heheh....I am having fun with him. I've seen some with sock monkeys and the original garden gnome of course.
DeleteLake Marion sort of freaks me out (and any lakes of the same origin.) I just can't feel completely comfortable with a body of water covering what used to be living, breathing spaces, and also...likely graves. Yeah, I know, they moved them....someone(s) are always missed. Anyway, great pics.
ReplyDeleteActually there is an island in the lake that has a cemetery on it. I think they take people out on a boat to visit once a year. I'd like to go.
ReplyDeleteYou need to get that kayak out, maybe even strap soldier boy to the bow. It could be a pleasant change for him.
ReplyDeleteHahah! Good one. I just might do that.
Deleteyou had me 'til you got to the toenails. what a beautiful set of images. i'm reading The Cove now with an interesting connection to flooding "what used to be living, breathing spaces".
ReplyDeleteI do paint my toes since they last so long. Manicure fingernails wouldn't last a day for me.
DeleteIt is always fascinating to think of buried towns and homes left to the water.
My toenails grow about half as fast as my other nails. I don't know that they last very long because I clip them.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I DO like beer.
