A stunning house against a dashing blue sky with palm shadows dancing on the front. Beautiful balconies and a gorgeous old wooden door – Wow!
Another example of beautiful Charleston architecture!

A checkerboard shadow! I love walking and spotting cool shadows in the road. I swear I need to bring my phone when I walk in the morning, there is a tree that gives off the most dramatic shadows in the road – it’s simply beautiful. I spotted this shadow downtown (from a brick wall) during a walk and took a quick photo…
What kinds of things do you notice when you’re out and about? I try to pay attention to the little things. For it is the little things in life that are truly BIG!

The cool old brick, the colorful window boxes, reflections in the window and sun dappled walkway make for an interesting Charleston photo.
Happy Saturday! Catch you back here tomorrow!
The water hose must not be allowed to stay alive! Not while Charlie’s around. He takes it very seriously. ATTACK! He growls at it and goes for quite a while before he is just worn out. This is how we can sit by the pool AND keep him cool at the same time – Makes for a happy day!

Charleston, SC architecture and charm. The homes in Charleston have so much character. You will see all the colors of the rainbow, some muted and some not so much. The beautiful window boxes and planters help add to the charm, as does a random bicycle attached to a street sign. Cool shadows on the home as well…
Enjoy your Saturday! Catch you back here tomorrow!
I snapped this photo (as a passenger) driving over the Ashley River Bridge in Charleston. July brought a lot of stormy weather and wild skies, this is one example. You can see the rain pouring from the clouds. Photo taken with iPhone while moving. I love this photo! I swear with these wonderful skies I cannot go anywhere without a camera, it’s simply impossible!

Our Crape Myrtle is growing like crazy, blooming beautifully, offering shade which is much appreciated!
GROW BABY GROW!
Happy Sunday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
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!

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!
