Debbi's Front Porch: Summer's End

Summer's End

We decided to do something different and walk the beach instead of our usual city walking last night. I was able to get a few pictures of summer's last sunset this year.

(below) Sun shimmering on the water as we cross onto the island

I love the way the late day sun was playing around here:

The friendly dog on the boat barked at our dogs and they barked right back! Think they were saying "hey did you see those dolphins?!"

Big fireball.....going down.......

and down...........

and gone!

Fort Moultrie in the end of summer sunset:

Everywhere we went, the salty air was full of summer dragonflies.....zooming and soaring wildly around. Impossible to get a good photo of those things! Maybe you can spot a few in this photo? They remind me of little helicopters!

How did y'all welcome Fall in? Are you glad it's here?

Beautiful photos! I had a girls' weekend in Charleston a few years ago and fell in love with the place! Happy fall to you!

I am so glad fall is here, even though we're not feeling much cooler weather yet and won't probably until the end of next month.

Did you take that wonderful shell home with you? I sure would have, a treasure from the sea.

Have a great day ~ FlowerLady

This was a nice goodbye to summer. And it is important to do that, not just welcome the next season, as much as we love it.

Your pictures are beautiful and the sunset must have been gorgeous. You are so fortunate to live in a city with so much beauty all around you. To have the choice of taking your walk on those beautiful old streets, or to turn towards the ocean, how very nice!

What a beautiful walk you had! I'm putting up my fall decorations this weekend - time to look for a pumpkin patch and get a few for the porch!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
