This is the view over the bridge that takes you from West Ashley to downtown Charleston, SC, through the car window. Those big things in the sky aren’t weird birds, they’re flowers from the crape myrtle that are on my windshield.
Just look at that dramatic sky!
P.S. I promise I wasn’t the one driving (you can see the passenger side mirror)!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
A window in Charleston, SC – Just look at the colors in that window box! The flowers are beautiful and compliment the color of the house so nicely!
There is nothing like a well taken care of historic home. There is so much maintenance with houses downtown, especially the homes that are built so close together, not allowing sun to get in between, requiring constant painting. But BRAVO Charleston – most homes are just beautiful!

How many times have I mentioned that I simply cannot walk around Charleston without snapping photos? Ha ha… It’s just so beautiful! Every home you pass is gorgeous, with beautiful landscaping, wonderful ironwork and stunning architecture! This is another example!
Photo taken mid-day, hence the bad lighting, but I think you can get the gist of it :)
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Morning walk
Early sun in the tree
Swing just waiting for someone to come along
Why wasn’t it me?
Catch you back here tomorrow! Hey, I think I’m a poet! ;)
The heat/humidity = moving at a snails pace. Here’s proof, ha ha.
We often see snails slithering their way across the sidewalk, but I’ve never seen one with the shell. I just read about snails… how they create their shells from the liquid that oozes off of them (very technical explanation, eh?) – interesting…
Stay cool if you’re in a part of the world where the heat and humidity really up there right now!

Beautiful homes in Charleston, SC… there are many, but this is one of my favorites. It’s the porch… how inviting is that? I would like to be on it right now!
Charleston has no shortage of stunning homes full of charm and plenty of character!
I have been signing off with “Catch you back here tomorrow”, but now I am considering something different… Have a second? Take the poll! It’s only a click!
Stunning architecture! You just don’t see buildings built like this anymore. This building has withstood the test of time!

Fred and I have started doing something over the past few years… it might be odd, but we like it… we’re removed some paintings from their frames. Not that the frames were bad, it’s just that we have so many paintings, and after a while it seems like you’re looking at so many frames it becomes distracting. We’ve taken a few paintings out of frames and have hung just the canvas over the years, and love it.
On left wall from top to bottom: Tim Bell, Marc Hanson, Dan Corey
On wall in front of you starting at top left and going clockwise: David Kasman, Marlee Brown, Don Stone and Ted Tihansky
Nothing like great memories, and each and every one of our paintings have just that!

Isn’t this stunning? Just look at those flowers against that magnificent sky.
This photo makes me smile! It’s kind of like when you were a kid, and you would plop down on the grass and watch the clouds… how cool is that?
Have a wonderful weekend! Catch you back here tomorrow!
It is so much fun to bop around the Charleston streets and alleyways, you never know what you’ll see!
All the different layers and textures are amazing… the architecture is stunning!

You may have noticed I have been posting photos this week – back to normal posting next week! b.
Look at the skill and workmanship that went into making this beautiful gate, I’m not sure who the blacksmith was? When you stroll around Charleston, SC the beauty is evident everywhere you look. We have wonderful craftsman that have created some beautiful things, all of which add to the charm of this great city. Phillip Simmons was the famous Charleston blacksmith that created many works of beauty until his death in 2009. Iron gates live on forever… a testament to his passion and skill.

Spanish moss hanging in the old oak trees… stunning! Sometimes a little erie, ha ha. I think it adds a bit to the gracefulness of these trees.
I have heard people say that it will choke the tree and the tree will suffer. I have read that’s not true, whew! It lives independently of the tree, it just uses the tree for support! Nature is so interesting… unless it ‘s a bug, my opinion ;)!

Tragedy strikes. Lives are lost. The community pulled together. I am so proud to live in Charleston, SC. An event that could have divided our city has instead made it stronger. I have seen a difference in the way people treat each other, and it is absolutely amazing! Our hearts all break for the friends and families who lost loved ones. The fact that it happened in a church just made it more horrific. These will not be easy times for the families, the church, the community, but we need to continue to pull together and be there for each other… Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I took this a few weeks ago. We’re walking along, early to beat the sun… we turned down a street in the neighborhood and look at this! The lone pine tree standing so tall against the bright sky with the sun peeking through the horizon… the dramatic trail of the airplane against the brilliant blue sky.
STUNNING!
