This photo is from the archives, but I thought I would post it today as a reminder not to miss your local Farmer’s Market! What better way to buy the freshest produce that is LOCAL! (Asparagus is no longer in season here in Charleston, SC – but right now we have so many options it will boggle the mind!) – I love the green against the pink rubber band – Wow!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
This entryway is undeniably one of my favorites. The mixture of stucco, wood, copper, wrought iron, marble, and the wonderful shapes and reflections – Wow! This is a beauty every single time I walk by!

Regal. A home with presence, wouldn’t you say? The varying textures, the dark trim, the reflections in those beautiful windows all make this one heck of a house in Charleston, SC.
Those dark crosses on the left hand side of the building on the second and third floors are Earthquake Bolts!

Charleston, SC – it’s quite a city, that’s for sure! Charleston, SC has been voted the World’s Best City. Wow.
Last year we were number 2 on the list, still impressive – and we’re the number one city in the US and Canada for the fifth year in a row!
So, if you ever are wondering where to take a vacation, this is the place! I think I would plan ahead, I think it’s going to get busier!
From the historic treasures this city has to offer, to the beautiful architecture and food that will blow you away – it’s no wonder!
This blip about Charleston, SC – from Travel + Leisure’s website:
Charleston moved up from the No. 2 city in the world last year to No. 1. The city has shown incredible resilience and, as one reader wrote, there is still “no place quite like it.” In addition to historic battlegrounds and jasmine-scented streets, Charleston is home to award-winning hotels (including the Spectator, No. 2 in the world this year) and restaurants. Antebellum charm, excellent boutiques, and the beautiful waterfronts at Sullivan’s Island and Folly Beach make this city one of the most beloved in the U.S.—and now, the world.
That’s quite an honor – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Husk Restaurant located in Charleston, SC is quite a fabulous place to visit. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant, the food is local and fresh. This is one of Sean Brock’s restaurants (an amazing chef)! Husk has opened a location in Nashville, TN and coming soon to Savannah, GA and Greenville, SC.
The menu changes daily, take a peek!

This is such a cool building, so it doesn’t take a lot to make it into a wonderful photo. I snapped this photo in March of 2007. Just look at the charm and character. Isn’t the old wavy glass on the windows just beautiful? I love the different textures – this building has such a wonderful patina!

Love the shadows, don’t you? Charlie loves to walk downtown… different smells and different “friends” that he runs into along the way. It’s the time of year to head out early, humidity isn’t fit for man or beast, ha ha…
Bring a camera! Most of my photos are taken with my phone nowadays, I can grab it and run out the door and snap along the way. Fred and Charlie walk fast, so I snap, snap, snap then run, run, run to catch up. It’s a workout, but one worth it’s weight in gold!

I love the wrought iron gates in Charleston, SC. Each is a masterpiece. The views beyond the gates are even more of a masterpiece. A peek at that white steeple against that oh-so-blue sky is just beautiful. The palm makes it tropical, the shadows on the old brick are stunning.
No matter where you look you find something absolutely beautiful. Not only downtown in the historic district, but everywhere! Keep your eyes open for it!

This is so cool. This mural was painted on the side of the Mira Winery (Wine tasting in Charleston, SC | Napa Valley Education Center). Artist David Boatwright painted this mural depicting local chefs in town. Can you name them? Answers HERE!

I’ve mentioned the beautiful window boxes throughout the city. Each one as gorgeous as the next. Some with unexpected plants that seem to flourish in their surroundings. Obviously planted by someone who knows what they’re doing!
Another fine example. What a treat to round a corner and find even more beautiful window boxes just waiting to have their photo taken!

St. Johns Marsh as seen through the car window – Clay Township/Algonac, MI. Many times when I see a photo and grab for my phone there just isn’t time to get the window down as well. So… that weird reflection in the middle isn’t something in the marsh. Look at this sky. Those peeks of bright cobalt blue underneath the whites and grays of the clouds.

This turned out to be quite a dramatic photo. Those cool Italian Cypress (I think that’s what they’re called) trees are so striking, especially against a sky that is full of clouds and light! There are so many photos to be taken in Charleston – beauty… everywhere!

I love this house. It’s stately. Gorgeous. It looks like it can withstand the test of time. Solid. Classy. Gorgeous palms surround. I love the roof and all those windows!

A dark and stormy Charleston sky. It was bizarre to see the peek of light all of a sudden! I took this photo while Fred was driving, no time to pull over. A great action shot, ha ha..
