It is shrimping season in South Carolina… Thought this would be a good follow up photo from yesterday. There are shrimp docks throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia. It is however an industry that has been on the decline for many years, caused by cheap imported and farm raised shrimp, high fuel costs and fisheries that are not producing as they once did (potential causes are most likely pollution and not over fishing). Fishing is like farming, some years are better than others, and you have got to like it, because you probably are not going to get rich doing it…

Love at first sight…
I will rest by your side in the calm waters.
And in the perfect storm pray I return to you…
I am in you and you in me.
We remain each other’s reflection
In both the still and stormy waters
Love is not blind, it seas….                    Nannette
