I went to a residential subdivision, #Lochmere, in the #Raleigh suburb of #Cary today. I thought my best shots would be from the two lakes along the main drive. But the main drive and its huge #pines and gorgeous #autumncolors took the prize. #photography #landscapes #autumn

This #mural appears on the side of a Moe’s Southwest Grill in #MountPleasantSC, just outside #Charleston. It is by #Portuguese 3-D #streetartist #SergioOdeith. Why these three? Turns out that Moe is an acronym for musicians, outlaws and entertainers. #photography #SouthCarolina

There’s a #park where I go periodically for my daily #walks. The trails give visitors views of a sizable #pond. The pond was particularly reflective on a recent visit. #YatesMillPondPark #photography #reflection

I don’t often get #sunrises I’m pleased with when using my iPhone because you lose sharpness and pixelization when zooming in. I thought this one one turned out ok though last week in #MyrtleBeachSC. I did not tinker an iota with saturation by the way. #photography #landscape

On a walk along the #beach on the last morning of a recent family R&R get-together in #MyrtleBeachSC, I came across this gentleman not more than 5 ft. from the ocean water. I don’t know who he is, but I thought I’d give him a splash here. #photography #zen
