More Images of our Beautiful State!

This is a gorgeous black and white taken by Amber Hewitt at Eddings Point Boat Landing.

There is no discounting that South Carolina has some of the loveliest waterfalls. This was taken at middle Brasstown Falls by Barbara Wammack.

I thought I would include what the artist had to say underneath the photograph. I believe it gives you a bit more insight into what they were thinking: "You just never know what you'll see during a Carolina sunrise. This beautiful Blue Heron knew where to be for a nice breakfast by the sea in Surfside Beach."

This is Long Shoals Wayside Park in Sunset. Look at the beautiful beginnings of fall.

5.

We have quite a few old buildings, barns, and houses that dot the landscape of South Carolina. Carrie has captured this one set against a brilliant sky in Walhalla.

6.

Douglas Berry Photography/FB

This was another photograph that had quite a bit written underneath it by the artist and I wanted to share that: "Waited several years to capture this type of storm at Botany Bay beach. More at Douglas Berry Photography if you're interested."

7.

Tami Kull Photography/FB

Tami sent in this amazing photograph of a Tri Color Heron looking at his beautiful reflection.

8.

Everett Leigh Photography/FB

This is what the photographer had to say about this photograph: "Sunset at Pawley's Island" I'd been to Pawley's Island many times before, but never to the southern point, which is a wonderful few acres of sand dunes, seagulls and families playing together in the wide open area between the Atlantic Ocean and the inlet. You'll find more from my weekend trips around the state on my Images by Everett Leigh page and feel free to Share anything you Like!"

Lisa Marie LaBrecque/FB

Lisa continues to amaze us with her beautiful photographs of the Upstate. This is Todd Creek Falls in Six Mile.

10.

Sarah Shinners Photography/FB

I find photographs that capture our natural wildlife to be fascinating. Here the photographer states, "Enjoying a Fall day on Shem Creek".

11.

Shannlaura Ramey/FB

A capture of a perfect fall day on a country road full of color. How absolutely beautiful!

12.

Steve Rich/FB

Mornings like this are magical for me. The photographer says this about their capture, "Blue Peter's Tree at the Aiken Training Track - Aiken, South Carolina early morning capture, a fog blanket covers the ground."

13.

Strange Tea Party/FB

Crystal, the owner of Strange Tea Party, has an eye for the riveting. This was captured at Myrtle Beach State Park.

14.

Tami Kull Photography/FB

Tami caught this Roseate Spoonbill at Huntington State Park trolling the water for nibbles of food. What beautiful and rich color!

15.

Tommy Henriquez/FB

There are nothing like sunrises in South Carolina. Tommy captured this one over Charleston.

The 5 Best Mobile Apps for Drivers

Can you imagine driving anywhere without your phone anymore? Perish the thought! Our phones have become such a fixture in our cars that it's hard to believe we ever survived without them. And now that smartphones are the norm, it's not just about calls, texts, and emails on the go; we've got mobile apps, too. Not surprisingly, many of these apps are aimed at making our daily driving activities ever easier and more efficient. 

 

But which ones are actually worth getting? For every legitimately helpful app, it seems like there are ten cheesy imitations which just waste precious megabytes  To that end, we went on a downloading binge and compared the features of practically every mobile app we could find. Five apps were left standing at the end, and we've got the lowdown on all of them below. (Note that while there are some crossover features between the apps, our primary interest is in what each app does best.)
 

Honk

Sales Pitch: Never forget to fill another parking meter – and never lose your car in a parking lot, either.

Pro: Great graphics, fun and effective parking-meter timer, accurate GPS tracking.

Con: It costs money?!

 

Both attractive and functional, Honk is one of the slickest apps we tested. The main interface features a richly rendered parking meter that you activate by dragging the timer portion at the top until it matches the time left on the actual meter. An alarm will sound at a user-selected number of minutes before the meter expires. It's brilliant. And when you've found a spot in the mall parking lot, just hit the circular map button at the base of the parking meter; Honk records the GPS coordinates of your car and guides you back if you forget where you parked. 

Platforms: Android, iOS

Price: $0.99
 

GasBuddy

Sales Pitch: Find the cheapest gas prices near your location.

Pro: Search couldn't be simpler, prices sortable by fuel type and grade, easy-to-read results.

Con: Banner ads.

 

Numerous apps include a gas-price function (including Waze, below), but there's something to be said for doing one thing and doing it well. Just press the big "Find Gas Near Me" button to get a list of local stations sorted by either price per gallon (the default) or distance. That's it. The prices are as legible on the phone as they are on the station sign, and you can even sort by fuel type (gas or diesel) and grade (regular, midgrade or premium). It's a no-brainer download.

Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry

Price: Free
 

Waze

Sales Pitch: Get optimized turn-by-turn navigation based on real-time updates from fellow motorists.

Pro: Most detailed source for local traffic conditions, fun cartoon-like graphics. 

Con: Dynamic map screen can get cluttered, event icons aren't always current. 

 

We should mention right off the bat that Google found Waze compelling enough to acquire it for nearly a billion dollars, so there's clearly something special here. Waze's magic is in its ability to crowd source the flow of traffic by relying on drivers who are actually on the scene, which means if you need to find the quickest way through downtown, say, Waze can be a serious time-saver. Having said that, we noticed some out-of-date reports in our Los Angeles-based testing, including a "Complete standstill" as of "6.5 hours ago." This makes us less inclined to rely on Waze as an all-in-one solution. As a complementary app, however, it's a winner on the strength of its robust community activity.

Platforms: Android, iOS

Price: Free

 

Trapster

Sales Pitch: User-generated alerts on nearby speed traps and traffic cameras.

Pro: Great-looking interface, deep user base, focused mission.

Con: None. 

 

Trapster's strength, like GasBuddy's, is its laser-like focus on one thing. As the tutorial puts it, "Drivers report traps," i.e. traffic cameras and speed traps, and "You receive an alert." Pretty straightforward. Accordingly, the Trapster community is fixated on a particular kind of road hazard – the kind that can put expensive tickets on your record – as opposed to the Waze community, which reports willy-nilly on a range of events. Trapster also tells you the current speed limit at your location, and it's got a speedometer at the base of the screen so you always know how fast you're going. With over 20 million downloads as of this writing, Trapster has plenty of depth in its community, too.

Platforms: Android, iOs, Windows Phone, BlackBerry

Price: Free

 

Google Maps

Sales Pitch: It's Google Maps!

Pro: Awesome 3D driving map, accurate estimated driving times, natural-sounding voice guidance.

Con: Lacks user interaction.

 

Google Maps is still our default choice for getting from point A to point B. Just hook up your phone via Bluetooth and let Google handle the rest. The driving times are generally spot-on, the voice sounds more like a human's than just about any digitized voice on the market, and the 3D map charts your progress in real time without any unnecessary clutter. It may not be "Web 2.0" or what have you, but for a navigation solution that really works, there's Google, and then there's everyone else.

Platforms: Android, iOS

Price: Free

20 Undeniable Reasons Why The World Wouldn’t Be The Same Without South Carolina

Whether you want to admit it or not, South Carolina is a very valuable state – not only to us, but to the rest of the world as well. We have brought delicious foods, vacation getaways, jaw-dropping sights, musicians, artists, writers, and inventions that no one could do without.

1. You wouldn’t have Charleston or….

Myrtle Beach to play in on those vacation getaways.

2. You wouldn’t have a surplus of peaches. Oh, sure you would have some, but the prices would be outrageous because there wouldn’t be as many as there are now.

Susan/Flickr

3. You would be importing ALL of your tea.

4. Tires. You would be riding on horses still or you would be importing all those round shoes for your car.

5. Without South Carolina you wouldn’t have the Shag, with contests held all over the United States.

6. You would never know what the word “hot” really meant. Thank you Carolina Reaper for letting us know.
