Patriotism is a beautiful thing — to love your country, your land, and your people, and to have a deep emotional affinity. But it can be so easily corrupted to polarized thinking, to harming others and ourselves, if we don’t realize what it is that is beautiful. It is beautiful because it is love. – Patricia Sun.
I love my country, because it is where I was born.
I love this country because it is where I now live.
Both these countries have faults. Nowhere is perfect. That doesn’t mean however, that you can’t love them. To love something is to accept their faults.

Half a dozen of us met up yesterday for a photo walk. The idea was simply to take some photographs while walking the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
The plan worked quite well.
The sunset was quite nice, although, in a place where sunsets can often yield quite glorious colored skies, this wasn’t the best that nature can offer.
The temperature was in the low fifties, but, once high up on the middle of the bridge, and certainly once the sun began to fall, along with the wind coming off the Cooper River, the temperature rapidly began to fall.
We had a variety of cameras, from DSLRs to cellphone cameras, and everyone got some interesting shots and angles
All in all, it was a pleasant event, and something that the 21 Century Photography Meet Up Group will be repeating in different locations around the Charleston area.

It’s another nice day outside. I’m really enjoying such lovely sunny pleasantly warm weather in December. I so dislike the cold, so this is just great. The sun shining is always uplifting.
After some fairly intense concentration yesterday, my new project is coming off the ground. I decided to start it now, so it would be ready for the New Year.
Sitting here enjoying some peace and quiet. I can hear the fountain on the lake outside, and the occasional quack of a duck. In the world of constant noise that we mostly live in these days, it’s nice to find a peaceful haven sometimes for a few minutes.
