Trip to Bull ISland, SC 5 '13

 Wednesday saw Bruce and I getting up at 2 am to join a photo shoot on Bull Island, SC sponsored by the Seacoast Artists Guild.    Fifteen members of the Guild  met at Pawleys Island to car caravan to  Garris Landing.
 
 From there we picked up a ferry which would take us both ways
to  and from  the leeward  landing on Bulls Island .


 From there we all piled in an open air truck which transported across the island

 Ostensibly photographing the sunrise was the main purpose of the trip. 
 
 Not too surprisingly most of the participants, including my husband Bruce,  were photographers; only a couple of us were painters by avocation. I'm sure many of the images caught by the camera folk will be much better quality photographs than mine
but I am happy with my results. What my pictures may lack for in photographic skills, they more than made up for as reference material for future paintings
 Part of the 62,000-acre Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge,the secluded beaches of Bulls Island, South Carolina
 
 has something for everyone including photographers, a painters  
 history buffs, 
 
 nature lovers 
or those who just want to get away for a day of exploring.  All too soon we had to return to the mainland.
  Goodby Bull Island.  We'll miss you.
