Kiawah Island pond, early morning. July 2008. When my SLR was returned to the manufacturer BEFORE we went to the beach, I was crushed; this was the first year I was going to be able to take "good" beach photos–I couldn’t wait to use my tripod! In spite of having "only" a point and shoot, we came home with some spectacular captures. These aren’t just good pictures, they’re "memory holders".
Below, two pictures at sunset. I didn’t know how to "do" anything about the low lighting conditions (other settings were blurrier), but I hope you can sense the beauty and mood of the day’s end. E v e r y day the sky is a waiting canvas for the Master’s hand.
This also fits Carmi’s current sky theme for Thematic Photographic, although I think the theme changes sometime on Wednesday:).
Wow. Stunning photos, Robin. The camera matters not…it’s all in the way you see. Just brilliant!
Girl, you DID get good beach pictures, DSLR or no. Lovely!
Nice images. Happy WW! 🙂
It takes more than a camera to take pictures. A good camera is only a tool. It’s better to have a good eye. You have that. Very nicely done. You so wonderfully captured what God painted. 🙂
I love sunsets at the beach…perfect for reflecting on the awesome majesty of the Creator. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous shots, especially the reflecting ones. You’ve got a great eye, the particular camera doesn’t change that.
Those are just gorgeous.
I know how disappointed you must have felt…but you got some really good photos with your PAS!
I never get tired of watching the sunset. Beautiful pictures.
You don’t need to make any excuses! Absolutely beautiful pictures!
Looks like paintings! Very beautiful!
These are lovely. That reflection is wonderful and a sunset always has me captivated.
Be still my heart! These are SO beautiful. Thanks for yet another reminder of the most gorgeous place on earth. 😉
“Every day the sky is a waiting canvas for the Master’s hands.”
I’m not sure what I enjoy most, the picture or that turn of phrase.
Beautiful! My mouth just dropped!
Excellent views.
Those are just good photos, my dear, they are AMAZING photos.
Where in the sam-hill is this place? I have never heard of it, but I am thinking I need to visit!
whoops. shame on me for not proof reading first… i mean to say those are NOT just good photos, they are AMAZING.
Ok. I am slithering away now.
Wow! All exquisite. Memory holder’s indeed. Must have been a memorable vacation. These are all wonderful.
Those are beautiful shots. The colors are gorgeous in the sunset and I like how the clouds are reflected in the lake. I want to know what house that is that you can just see the three fireplaces peeking up over the trees in the background? It must be huge!! Happy WW.
Gorgeous, Robin… simply gorgeous
Robin, I think all the adjectives have already been used, so I will have to say INSPIRATIONAL! My favorite is the reflection of the sky in the water. Those waters are so very still, and, as the saying goes, run deep. As does the depth of these photos!
I love those shots! Absolutely gorgeous!
Any tips on my photo? I’m always wondering if I’m composing correctly.
While I adore my SLR, some of my best pictures were taken with a point and shoot camera. These are great.
These are all gorgeous, especially the sunset ones. So beautiful!
The shots are wonderful, but the camera is just part. My photos on my trip were all done with a Sony cyber shot, which no one really beleived.
Wow!!! The COLORS!!! Those are GORGEOUS!!!
By the touch of the Master’s hand….
Your blog/site is just great.
I’ll definitely be back to read more!
Magnificent water and sky photos.
Those are breathtaking sunsets. Thanks for sharing! Happy WW!
I LOOVE going to Kiawah island! It’s beautiful there isn’t it?
You are amazingly talented! I’ve been reading here forever and decided it was time to come out of hiding. I’m so amazed by your writing talent and by your photography! Thanks for sharing it with the blog world!!!!

These photos are lovely indeed … and ya know how I like ‘reflections’ … but I shared ‘sunrise’ photos from my front yard at Sacred Ruminations this morning ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
