Shem Creek Park

The next place we visited was Shem Creek Park in Mount Pleasant.  It is a fairly new park and I though I had died and gone to heaven the first time I visited.  Walking on a boardwalk with the marshlands all around me, shrimp boats, fishing boats, water everywhere and quaint restaurants.  I took way too many pictures but you will get to see what I am talking about.  Here we go!

There are a few ways to access the park and I chose the main entrance.

Up close and personal with the shrimp boats!

Looking across Shem Creek to a couple of shrimp boats.

Vickery's is a very popular restaurant right on the creek.

This is Red's, which is my favorite place on the creek when I want to people watch, have a cold beer or a glass of wine and a nice southern meal.

This is Lacey, my grand-dog who was so good about letting me take pictures.

I have taken pretty much this same picture more than once because I love seeing the Arthur Ravenel Bridge in the distance.

There is just this one small hammock in the park where you can spend a bit of time in the shade on a hot and sunny day.

Never give up.  Never let anything stop you from enjoying the things that bring you pleasure.

Lunch

 We caught the Great Blue Heron having lunch.  Watch these photos as he finds a big bullfrog, enjoys lunch and then casually walks away with a bulge in his throat and a look of satisfaction on his face. Click on the pictures to enlarge them and see better detail.
