Another Bowens Island photo (Charleston, SC). This is out on their dock, near the time of sunset (as if I needed to explain that beautiful golden light)…
Each time we go I spend as much time taking photos (if the light is right) as I do eating, ha ha… It’s just such a beautiful location! Check it out if you haven’t been!

Ashley Harbor – Charleston, SC
I snapped this photo with my phone while (Fred was) driving over the Ashley River Bridge – it was an interesting sky with a lot of yellow. Looks serene… almost every time we drive over the bridge I am scrambling for my phone… always scenic!
Happy Sunday!

Wolf Moon – Photo taken January 12, 2017
The Wolf Moon is the name given to the full moon in January, when the wolves would howl at the full moon. Read some cool facts and see some beautiful photos of a Wolf Moon from Almanac.com!
Did you realize the full moons have names each month? Pretty cool, eh?

These live oak trees are amazing – especially the one that is reaching towards the water. Historic and beautiful!
Happy Saturday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
A fresh post for Saturday!
This chair looks rather angelic in the sunshine, ha ha… Here is a look at what’s to come… Benjamin Moore in a Navy color (we think we know which one, but haven’t decided absolutely). It’s currently a Benjamin Moore match to an old Ralph Lauren color KUBA (in the Safari collection). We’ve loved this color, but now… need it to be gone! I’m dying for some navy walls… How sharp will that be?? Bits of navy in the rug, all the paintings have blue (nine paintings in this small room) – I can’t wait! I love the white against the navy. Is it ever sharp! Right now the hot color is SHADOW by Benjamin Moore, but it’s a little too purple for my taste, although I’ve seen it used on doors, etc. and it’s so striking!
Will send an image of the final result once we get to that point!
For those of you who subscribe to this blog, you may think that today’s post looked familiar. It did to me too… well, that’s because I posted it six short days ago. Six. Sigh… I think I was rearranging posts and this image was used twice. Nice… ugh! Please forgive.

You may have to click to see this image larger. This photo was taken from the road that leads you to Bowens Island Restaurant in Charleston, SC (near Folly Beach). Views?! Oh, yeah! Sunset at Bowens Island is always a treat. They are known for their seafood, but the view, whoa! Don’t miss it if you are in the Charleston area!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
PS… if this looks familiar it mistakenly posted in November along with another post about the need to catch up and focus, ha ha… ugh! You aren’t imaging things, if this seems familiar, you’re right, it is!
Solved! That’s right! This photo was taken at Karen Hagen Fine Art – click the link to see more of the gallery and see the artists represented!
To take a quick break from “Guess the artist” – A cool photo. I couldn’t pass it by, it caught my attention and I stood in this gallery and snapped photos, ha ha… are you familiar with Charleston, SC and the many galleries that we have here? Do YOU know which gallery this chandelier is in?
I love a challenge… Ha ha…

This photo is from a past Christmas in Michigan. Fred’s parents drove to MI – It was so beautiful, the snow was falling and so perfect for them to see!
The older you get the more Christmas is about memories much more than what may be under the tree when you wake up on Christmas Day. Most of us have everything we need, and the things that we want cannot be purchased.
Share a smile with someone (and some cookies too!) – it will help make the world a better place!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

I snapped this photo as we were walking to the car after leaving Fritz Porter. What a cool building, if you’re wondering… YES, this used to be the Cigar Factory! What’s inside is even more wonderful – a great selection of design items. It’s a fabulous place to check out!
If you’re in the Charleston, SC area, stop by and check it out!
From the FritzPorter.com website:
PEOPLE ASK ALL THE TIME, “WHAT IS FRITZ PORTER?”
And the answer is simple: it is many things.
It is a carefully curated antique center, representing 15 different dealers with styles ranging from flea market chic to museum quality classics.
It is an art gallery where one can find original pieces by contemporary artists ranging in style from pastoral impressionism to surreal and abstract.
It is a fabric and furniture showroom that offers a stellar selection of boutique lines that are not found anywhere else in the Southeast.
It is a perfect place to fine those one-of-a-kind gifts be it a bauble, a bottle opener, or a book.
There is something for everyone…. come see for yourself!

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall? Which is your favorite season? Fall is my favorite and has always been. I love the cooler, less humid temperatures, the color in the trees (there is some here in SC) and that afternoon light – OH! It’s breathtaking! I can’t complain about our Winter that’s for sure. Temperatures are rather mild here in Charleston, SC – we do see a few cold snaps, but nothing to complain about! Spring is always welcome due to the fact that it seems that EVERYTHING is blooming and so beautiful, even with all the yellow/green pollen! Summer, ah, Summer… you love it or you hate it. Hate is a strong word. Ha ha…

St. Philip’s Church Tea Garden – Charleston, SC
We were downtown a few weeks ago when my parents came to visit, and as usual I was snapping photos as we walked. I love this tall palm, the bit of porch and the cool sign for St. Philip’s Church Tea Garden.
St. Philip’s Church opens a tea room for a week each Spring where they offer sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts. Homemade and delicious! It’s fun to have a peek at a past menu!

I snapped this photo last month on a morning walk. Look at the sunrise in the distance. This is near a shopping center that we live near. The trees, incredible light and clouds made for a stunning morning sky!
HAPPY SUNDAY!

I took this photo a few days after Hurricane Matthew when we finally got out and took a walk in the neighborhood. This pine tree was standing tall and proud with the beautiful light shining on it – looking rather regal with other branches and trees down around it.
Enjoy your Saturday!

Bowens Island Restaurant. Always a favorite. Such fresh seafood with the most AH-mazing views ever! Sunset is not to be missed! What can be better than a fabulous dinner and a gorgeous sunset? If you visit the Charleston area (or live here), don’t miss checking it out!
After dinner we walked around and I snapped *a few* photos… such a cool place! The views offer such peace.
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Nothing like a photo from a parking lot mirror! My family was in Charleston and we were out and about, as we walked by this mirror I thought it was the perfect opportunity to catch all of us in a photo. Ha ha…
