Captured at the Space Coast in Florida
Scene at Yellowstone Lake, captured in May 2009Yellowstone Lake
is the largest body of water in Yellowstone National Park, The lake is 7,732 feet (2,376 m) above sea level and covers 136 square miles (352 km²) with 110 miles (177 km) of shoreline. While the average depth of the lake is 139 feet (42 m) its deepest spot is at least 390 feet (118 m). Yellowstone Lake is the largest freshwater lake above 7,000 feet (2,133 m) in North America.
In winter, ice nearly 3 feet (1 m) thick covers much of the lake, except where shallow water covers hot springs. The lake freezes over by early December and can remain frozen until late May or early June.
Fall leaf in the park - fall is here pretty soon
nice light...
in deep grass...
This is the view of a marsh region by high tide - what a different landscape! The color of the grass was overwhelmingly green and beautiful.
This is my little island :-)
Fall colors #1
Fall colors #2
Fall colors #3
The small path is guiding us up to the falls, we are surrounded with all those beautiful colors of green 
It worth's the sweat you had on the way up to this point, to see this pretty scene of nature. The falls had not that much water as usual because of the high drought they have just now, allover in NC.
A pretty "mini" fall, seen crossing the small bridge
My abstract version of the creek 
Pretty light...
To walk the way down was much easier. It was a very nice experience of the day to see this Pearson's Falls, a true treasure of mother nature.
That was Folly Beach yesterday afternoon
This must be the first bands of tropical storm "Fay"
I like scenes like this and the sound of the big waves coming in to the shore
And there were also two guys out there, they don't cared about the weather nor the coming storm - that was exactly what they needed for their exciting kite surfing sport!
He came later to the beach with his kite and just started going out to the water. But he had to come back pretty soon, then suddenly the horizon was just black!
This kite surfing sport is big fun, you can see it here - and it was big fun also to watch those guys too!
And then it was time to run to the car, big rain drops started falling....
One of our first stops in NC was to see the famous Chimney Rock. You can climb up all the steps or you can use the elevator. Unfortunately, it was too late for us to go up there, the park was closing in 20 minutes already.
This is a close up of the rock with the U.S. flag, a very impressive block. (See more photos in the links below).
A little creek down in the valley with not enough water. The reason is the big dryness they have up there. I have seen a big sign written by a church: "Pray for rain" - and that tells it all!
McClellanville, a small picturesque fishing village
I love harbor scenes and my first post about McClellanville is dedicated to the shrimp boats, sitting in the harbor, just coming back from the morning catch
I love details, like here: all the ropes they need on a boat
and the colorful nets 
and all the poles in and around the boats
net details
more colorful details...
View in the back of a boat
Even rust can be beautiful...
pretty colors
Aren't they beautiful, almost surreal?
And they look like lost red trumpets out of a fairy book
Wildflowers on a bush with beautiful colors and interesting geometric shapes
This is a close up of a Yucca plant flower
Hundreds of little white bells are growing on a Yucca plant
The whole Yucca plant with the flower bunch
Marsh scene at Folly Beach
Two rusty old boats have seen better days for sure
