Charleston, SC – A Stunning View for Everyone!

Most of us are blown away with the beauty of Charleston, SC. Other areas of Charleston are trying to keep their charm intact, but whether it will happen remains to be seen. Most people want it, but it’s not an easy process, so we shall see. There are many older neighborhoods hoping it comes to fruition because they would also like to have (very) limited guidelines to help keep the character in their neighborhoods.

The architecture in Charleston, SC is stunning. You’ll find an array of different styles from different periods. Charleston is rich in history and the history is fascinating! If you’ve never visited, I highly suggest it. To me, the best time to visit is during the cooler temps, but it seems most visit in the heat of the summer and love it. #youbeyou

Charleston, SC After Sunset View – Stunning!

My husband and I were heading out to run a few errands last night when we saw the brightest, most beautiful sky. Sunset. We could only catch glimpses of the bright pink sky through the (many) trees – so we went sunset chasing…

A Busy Day? Take A Deep Breath…

This was an unexpected surprise as we headed over the bridge to Mount Pleasant, SC. We were out early the other morning while running errands. There was such a beautiful color across the horizon and then *poof* the sun appeared and quickly rose. In the span of the bridge we saw it rise considerably. What an awesome way to put things into perspective. Busy days and times are among many of us – take a moment to absorb the quiet and any peaceful scene you may encounter.

These Views Are Never Taken For Granted

Out on walk the other morning 🙄 – I’m walking to my “fast walking” station on Spotify. I was zipping along until I stumbled (literally) upon this view. I thought I would let my heart catch up with my head after almost going *splat* so I stopped and did what any sane person would do – I took a photo….

Koi Pond in Charleston, SC + a Reminder…

Aren’t these bright orange Koi against the green of the lily pads absolutely stunning? I took this photo at a garden shop in the Charleston area (info below) – gorgeous plants, trees, fountains, outdoor planters, accessories, etc. They also can create a vignette such as this for you. So serene!

Halloween Memories 👻

Charleston photo taken years ago – it has a nice Halloween vibe!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 It’s a day kids dream about – I remember it well (all those years ago!) going trick or treating with my sister. My mom would stay home and pass out candy and my dad would walk with us while we sang out TRICK OR TREAT and collected our candy. #goodtimes Although, my costume was usually upended by wild weather, therefore turning me into…

Happy Birthday Wishes To My Sweetheart!

My husband loves cake. LOVES cake! Photo is a cake we brought home on a trip a few years ago (details below) – it was fabulous (and I am *gasp* not a cake person)! This year we simply cannot eat an entire cake, so instead we’ll head to a good bakery for an assortment of cupcakes for him. I have plenty of candles and can sing Happy Birthday with each cupcake (haha – KIDDING!)…

Olive Tree, Charleston, SC!

Aren’t they beautiful? Spotted this olive tree while out and about a few weekends ago and thought it was pretty spectacular! You can’t just pluck an olive and eat it – I’ve read the taste is abhorrent at best, even if you love olives. They must be placed in a brine for a period of time. #nowyouknow But… they sure are beautiful!

Plentiful Butterflies…

The butterflies are plentiful right now. Around certain plants they were swarming at this local nursery/design shop. They have gorgeous plants and flowers and the butterflies really gravitated towards some of them. To the point they were all around my head, ha ha. Just looking out of our windows I’m see so many, all different colors – just beautiful!

Thoughts regarding Hurricane Helene…

For over a week now we’ve seen so many images/videos coming out of the areas of the country that have been devastated by Hurricane Helene. So many of you have donated time, effort, monetarily and with much needed supplies. Groups of pilots (airplane and helicopter), seasoned hikers going into tough terrain, everyday folks doing the unthinkable to help their neighbors or total strangers…
