daniel island's pier. documented.

In an attempt to get back to my posts, Augustus and I went 
for a Sunday stroll with the camera and wound up here.
Our pier.
Daniel Island sea turtles are of enormous size.
But nothing phases Augustus.

Officially a water-loving spaniel.
Waiting in great anticipation to go to the other end.
There was a guy meditating at the end of the dock,
so we quickly turned back around.
A girl with a camera and a dog equals annoying.
I think the meditating man came from this boat.
And this is why  my dad says DI is "basically a swamp."
At least I live in a pretty swamp.

rise to the bait.

Because my Sundays are oh-so-thrilling, here's a glimpse 
of what I was doing.
I'll just stop here. And gaze out at the water. And do proper
"by the water" things. But wait... is that a fishing pier I see to my right?
La de da de da... just sitting here by the edge of the water
(I made sure to keep a sense of balance so as not to topple sideways into the water).
There's the fish! You can see him—
he was an agitated fellow (the fish, I mean).
"VICTORY!!" he shouted.
No, he didn't really shout anything,
but his pose was perfect for it. 
"Fish—you are mine now."
He didn't really say that either.
What he really did say: "Yep, those snappers are biting today!
Practically jumped at me, this one."
Oh really? Snappers? Biting? Jumping?
Not liking those words...
(picks up feet away from water)
I was offered the fish as well, but I let this guy have it.
Yes, I'm just that generous...
Nothing like a fishing pier to bring people together.
That's what I always say.
