The Grandness of These Old Live Oak Trees!
Live Oak Trees in Charleston, SC – they are so stunning to see. Streets lined with them as their branches reach across the road to come together as one. The Spanish moss swaying in the wind. The Resurrection fern that is brown and crunchy and then comes to life like the most beautiful green fern when we’ve had rain…

Do you live in an area with mosquitoes? I think a good many of us do and their population seems to be getting worse. If you want to avoid pesticides, mosquito spraying, chemicals, this is something to try – everything I read about it sounds like it really helps a lot. It may not be perfect, but after 30 years of trying pretty much everything – nothing is. The best part, it’s not harmful to you, your animals or birds, bees, etc. #happydance

Several of the different walking routes we take pass by marsh – beautiful, elegant, back-in-time views where time slows down, the birds fly freely and life is peaceful. It’s a joy to watch. Since we were out walking (for fitness) I couldn’t dilly dally too long, so a quick snap is all I could get. Enjoy!

I took an evening walk and guess who was in the tree having a big time. The squirrel. They’re everywhere and I know some people aren’t big on them because they can be destructive but to watch them, they always seem so happy. Jumping around, and from tree to tree it almost appears they can fly at times. See the tree branch the squirrel is on? Note the crunchy vegetation…
