Bowens Island Dock at Sunset

Bowens Island Dock

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!

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?

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…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas!

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! 🎄

Be the good…

Mebkin Abbey, Moncks Corner, SC

It always helps to put things into perspective – as I see people rush around and stressed, I think this post may help a little… I hope…

Come sit your weary bones down, sit a spell… relax and calm your thoughts. There is so much going on this time of year, sometimes we need to get in check with things and slow down and realize that if everything doesn’t get done, it’s OK. Always remember that living a good life isn’t about what you have but how you treat others. So lend an ear, listen to a friend, don’t be too quick to judge.

Everyone is going through something (click here to see a great video!) – so if you encounter someone who seems out of sorts, sad, mad, or just not friendly, don’t just assume the worst – pass along a smile or a kind word (or both!!). Help make someone’s day – it’s a tough world and we need to help each other get through it.

Go out and be the GOOD that you want to see in the world!  🙏

What is Fritz Porter?

Fritz Porter - Charleston, SC

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!

Mine is Fall, what is yours?

Fall leaf...

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…

Charleston, SC Photo…

Charleston, SC

Walking around Charleston, SC there are so many things to take photos of. Charleston is a beautiful city, and sometimes you come upon a scene that looks as if it could be in a different country. That was the first thing I thought when I took this photo. I love the bits of light and the varying colors of the building – what a fabulous door!
