I took this photo several years ago. Just look at this mesmerizing live oak tree. Its limbs reaching as if to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighboring tree. So much history. It’s astounding if you think about it. What has this tree seen and heard in its lifetime? I love the far-reaching branches, the view, and the sunlight dappling the scene nicely…

Isn’t this a lovely view? The color of the grass and sky, the long dock, the horizon in the distance. All so serene. Sometimes you need to get away to a place that is quiet and peaceful and gives off good vibes. This is actually a really cool place to park and walk. Bring your dog if you like. Let me tell you where…

A quick photo of the Charleston, SC skyline taken from quite a spectacular place. Some of you will recognize this view. I kept checking on this view throughout the day. It was ever-changing from early AM through sunset. Absolutely spectacular! Just look at that sky! It’s what dreams are made of!

Isn’t it true that flowers equal smiles? They can lighten a gloomy day, bring brightness to a room and make it so cheery. Flowers are more than a beautiful, happy symbol. They truly make your heart happy. This was a spectacular bunch – stunning in every way… #thankyou

A few weeks ago we stopped for lunch at a favorite place and afterwards took a little walk around town. What a delight when we spotted a cool home store. They had the most delightful items, treasures! Furniture, lighting, candles, virtually anything that can make a house a home. Beautifully displayed, it was a treat to meander through the store. We look forward to getting back there soon. I love their vibe!

Some days we need peace, good thoughts, and to surround our thoughts with nature. Nature is one of the ultimate healers and the ultimate peace giver (🙏 being the other!) . Did you know that being outside is so good for you? It can calm your mind (whose doesn’t get riled up these days?) and heal your soul.

When the sunlight hits a special spot I run for my phone (camera) – sometimes I make it, sometimes I don’t – the light is fleeting, as in here one second, gone the next. I took photos of sunlight on the orchid on our coffee table, stunning, but the overhead shot (which I always love) won out.

Now this is a beautiful place to stop and take a breath. Look around, take a walk, grab some seafood to take home and cook or stop at one of the restaurants. You definitely have options. The ability to walk to the end of this fabulous dock, talk to people fishing, etc and hang out at the end watching boat, kayakers, etc. It’s so lovely. A must see for sure.

Time flies. You may have read these words of mine before but the older I get the more I mean it. I am so thankful to have met my husband all those years ago (over 3 decades). We’ve hit milestones together and been there for each other every step of the way. Frederick, here’s to the next 3+++ decades of life with you!!

Another photo taken on James Island a few weeks ago. It’s so hard to drive by beautiful scenes without shouting STOP, ha ha… I love the reflections in the water, the dead branch which makes everything else seem so alive. Just beautiful! This isn’t far from where we live. Thankful to have the luxury of walking to beautiful spots – a lot of photos to be had!

Charleston, SC had a spell of very hot and humid weather (well, most of the country did, didn’t they?) so when we had a front blow in and block the sun, give us wonderful rain for the plants, flowers, trees, etc. and lower the temps to what we haven’t felt since April/Early May – it was the weather that dreams are made of. #iloveclouds

I saw this sticker on a car in Charleston, SC. What an amazing human with the most perfect message (when we all need it the most, right?)! Not only “Be Kind” but “I Hope Something Good Happens To You Today”. Be the light you want to see in the world… What a magnificent start!

Sunflowers are so interesting and so perfect for an August post. We had a young entrepreneur in our neighborhood selling sunflowers (for a great price) a while back. I snapped a photo of the sunflower as it turned to look out the front window. They have such charisma.

Well we made it to Michigan a while back, had a quick visit with my family. It’s always so good to see them. Too short no matter how long it is. I’ve been in Charleston over 36 years, wow, time flies! I love Michigan and all it has to offer. So many places to visit and check out. You can literally sit on the porch all day and never tire of the view. It’s constantly changing…
