Myrtle Beach pic of the day:
Reader Dayle Oakley sent in this pic taken in the Battery by the Waterway neighborhood. The reflection from the clouds and lights at night from the dock overlooking the ICW was amazing. Thank you for the exceptional photo, Dayle!

About me: The best decision I ever made was relocating to the Myrtle Beach area from New England a few years ago, with my three dogs and three cats. I enjoy dogs, cats, road trips, photography, writing, vegetarian food, live music, bicycling and above all my daily walks on the beaches in and around the Grand Strand.
