Beach time for Jupiter!

Recommended Posts

baldylox

This is long overdue but I finally got around to posting photos of a doll meet we had out at Botany Bay Plantation near Edisto Beach SC.

There's a driving trail around the plantation that we hit after the beach area but since we went to the beach first, that's where we'll start.  You park about a half mile from the actual beach and walk to it.  This is not your typical beach tho.

It's not cleaned up and manicured like most tourist style places.  It has been left as a natural habitat.

There are trees everywhere that have been here for years.  Storms uproot them and they fall and stay where they are.  It makes for a really different kind of landscape.

Since at the time my fave Sailor Scout was fresh and new, I took her along for her first doll meet and first outing.  And she did not disappoint!  She looked lovely out there in the sun!

Since most of these trees go underwater at high tide, barnacles have covered all areas they can.

I did say this was a doll meet so of course there were other dolls there.  This pretty girl is named Jolene and she's an 04 head on a DDS body.  She's adorable.

Jupiter wasn't so sure on going in the water just yet.  😉

Jolene loves the water.

Makoto goes looking for shells in the tidal pools.

Jolene decides to dry off in the sun.

51207385841_73a9b34a4d_z.jpgDSC_0046 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

She found some shells in the nook of a tree!

Looking down the beach.  Luckily there were hardly any people out here.  We had the whole place to ourselves for the most part.

Makoto goes exploring some more.

She is so photogenic!  <3

I guess she decided to get in the spirit and get out of her cover clothes.

The beach was mostly tiny crushed shells covering the sand.

 

51208451010_acac2b2095_z.jpgDSC_0062 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

Oh no she got caught in a trap!

 

51208148949_27fa820d75_z.jpgDSC_0063 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

Oh wait, she's doing stretches before going in the water.  😄

Well I guess she didn't want to get wet yet.  XD

Hey can you hear the ocean in that?  

"Well duh, we're on the beach already!"

Soon after we caught up with more dollie friends!  It seems Cocoa got caught in that same trap Makoto did.  LOL

She finally took off her shorts and was in full bikini mode!

It seems my Jupiter isn't really a fan of the ocean.  Not sure why but I finally coerced her to walk in a bit with me.

51208141009_ac5e64a80e_z.jpgDSC_0113 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

She splashed around in the shallow edge for a bit.  I think she had fun.  :) 

 

51207579168_77827415a5_z.jpgDSC_0114 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

Jolene tried to drag Gene in for a swim but he had to turn her down.

Meanwhile, Cocoa was on a photo safari of her own.

After the water, Makoto sat down for a bit but found a little visitor.

 

51206661862_94c115757e_z.jpgDSC_0120 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

It was a tiny stone crab!

 

51207577893_e7ce563237_z.jpgDSC_0121 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

Oh wait, my mistake.  It's a STONED crab.  😉  LOL

Nice to see Jupiter out having fun.

Are those Coolcats Bikini’s they have on?


The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be.

She had a pretty good time as did we all.  😉 

The red and white set Jolene wore is an older Cool Cats set but the yellow setup Jupiter is wearing is a Volks set.  It came with the hoodie and denim shorts.  The shoes are some random plastic ones from some other doll brand that just happen to fit the DD girls nicely and work with this yellow bikini.

Wow, what a wonderful day and what a wonderful beach!

 

My only concerns are about sun damage, sand and salty water on  vinyl...

Thanks!  It was indeed a great day out!  Don't be concerned, the sun doesn't do any damage for the few hours we were out there.  As for the salt water, as soon as we got back to the cars we used bottled water to rinse them off and then when we got to my house we took them apart and rinsed them again, then hand toweled them dry.  No issues at all!  :)

Thank you for the compliments!  We had a great time out there.  And that's awesome about the BF being nearby!  Edisto is just a bit past this place but it's also very nice.  Edisto is just a regular sandy beach tho.  Botany Bay is on the left a few miles before you get to Edisto, it's on the same road to Edisto so it's easy to find.  If you go there make sure you share pics of your doll out there!

Oh man, I would live to visit a natural beach like that with no tourists all over. Your meetup looks like fun, and of course Makoto looks awesome. Sadly, I live at least 3 hours from the nearest Great Lakes shore, and at least 6 hours or more from any actual ocean beaches, so I haven't been to any at all in 10 years. I might have to put this beach on a bucket list though. 🥰

There were a few people out there but not like your normal beaches.  I think we saw around 40 to 50 people in the span of about 4 hours so not bad at all.  That sucks you're so far form any shorelines but hey, put it on that list and maybe you'll make it one day soon!  :)

That beach looks lovely, nice a peaceful, and I love all the dead trees! so cool. Jupiter is stunning, I feel like I don't see a lot of photos of her in general, especially for how pretty she is. 

 

I love this shot! so pretty. That yellow bikini is perfect on her 💞

Thank you so much!  She really is a beauty and I'll take her out again too because she seems to love the camera.  And that's one of my favorite outfit sets.... it fits all sorts of body shapes and sizes.  :)

This is a fun thread! I like how some of them are blushed to look like they’ve been out in the sun! And their hair like they’ve been in the water and wind blown! Neat beach too there...you can’t find beaches like that often anymore.

Thank you very much!  Jolene is an outdoor girl so she was definitely blushed to look like that.  I'm glad you picked up on that!  The beach is really neat and one of only a few like it near me.  Most are very touristy so it's nice to escape all the people and enjoy things untouched.  :)

Thank you!  I thought so too altho I do admit I wasn't sure when I picked her to come out for the day.  But once I had her on the beach, she just BEAMED.  And you know that Volks photos suck!  Owner pics are always better.  😉  And yes, we all had a good time out there!

Thank you so much!  Natural light is the key and knowing what angles to get to show the girls off best helps.  I do ZERO editing on my photos so what you see is what the camera saw and took.  I use an older Nikon D5300 and sometimes a D60 if I'm not doing any video.  Both are great cameras and are easy to use. Since digital film is cheap ( ha ha! ) I take a ton of pics and then choose the best ones of the group.  Normally for every photo I keep, I'm deleting 10-15 others.  It's best to take as many as possible so you always have a good chance of getting that one awesome shot.  😉
