Fripp Island

A Break for Vacation (with pictures)

by

At the end of September and beginning of October, I went to a South Carolina island named, Fripp Island. Before our arrival, it rained, leaving the ground saturated.

Fripp Island, SC 2014

My wife and I vacation on a private island on the South Carolina coast named Fripp Island. For two weeks, there’s no commuting through D.C. traffic or hearing user complaints. It’s days filled with fresh sea air and nights under a clear, star-filled sky.

Over the two weeks, I enjoy taking photographs. One of my favorite times is sunrise.

Beach Deer

In 2008, I visited Fripp Island, SC. When there, I get up at sunrise and walk the beach. It so peaceful. And sometimes, I get surprised. This morning, several deer wandered on the beach and played in the surf. I was able to take several pictures without disturbing them. The above picture makes me think … Read more
