Lowcountry Marsh
I snapped this photo while walking – it’s so hard for me to not stop and take photos. I’m not sure my other half appreciates this trait in me, but it can’t be helped… So I snap away, then try to catch up only to stop again.
The marsh here in the Lowcountry is dramatic and beautiful. Always changing – low tide, high tide, grasses change, birds, sky and oh those trees! Continue reading “Lowcountry Marsh”
Sweet Beast
Charlie – our Jack Russell Terrier. I love when the sunlight is streaming in our back room, which is painted a dark charcoal gray, and I can get a photo shoot of Charlie. His white fur highlighted by the sunshine – his gaze fixated either on a carrot or the mention of one.
This dog loves a photo shoot. Continue reading “Sweet Beast”
Monhegan Woods and a Public Service Announcement!
Monhegan, Maine. A beautiful island you may have seen me mention a time or two (ha). There is such a sense of peace when you’re in these woods hiking the wonderful trails. Continue reading “Monhegan Woods and a Public Service Announcement!”
Sunroom Flowers…
I like to say I’m a lot like MacGyver (remember that TV show?) – I can find a way to make things work using objects I have sitting around. This photo is from years ago, flowers growing like crazy in our sunroom. All of a sudden I needed a prop to keep my Amaryllis up straight. I looked around for various things to use, then I came upon some well-used paintbrushes. PERFECT! It worked like a charm.
Where to Next?
I saw this the other day and had to grab my phone and take a photo. Sadly the dog had turned it’s head and I missed the shot that was head on. This dog, sitting in the driver’s seat waiting for his person to come back to the car. He looked like he was the driver. It cracked me up. Delight in the little things!

Marston House – A Knack for Classy…
Some people have a knack for making things special. Very special. Fred and I visited the coolest B&B several years ago in Wiscasset, Maine – The Marston House. While the owners have moved to a different location – it looks like they’ve made things very special in Vinalhaven (as well as several French rentals that are to die for!)

Gas Lantern Shadow
Shadows intrigue me. They are often just as cool as the subject itself. We were headed out the door and this caught my eye… I had to stop and take a quick photo. The elegance of this gas lantern displaying it’s shadow on the brick was so cool. It makes the lantern look huge (it’s not). Continue reading “Gas Lantern Shadow”
Poolside Geraniums – Charleston, SC
Our geraniums are bursting with color and have been for some time now. Even our geranium from last year that looked a little bleak after the winter (despite being put in the garage on the nights that we had that dipped below freezing) – but they are happy and blooming now.
I love this little scene. The pool, the wicker chair and the geranium. Our happy place!

Petunia Rock Garden – The good old days!
I need to plant some petunias here in Charleston. Petunias hold a place near and dear to my heart – One of my grandma’s used to have a rock garden in her backyard – we got to help plant it each Spring, and it was always so much fun (maybe because ice cream or M&M’s were always a part of it?) Continue reading “Petunia Rock Garden – The good old days!”
Portrait of a Blooming Violet!
I love this time of year. Temps are nice, nothing too crazy going on (like a hurricane) – everything is blooming outside, and inside as well!
This violet was given to us 6/18/2007 when our Jack Russell, “Reginald” passed away. A neighbor gave it to us (thank you Cora!) – and it has gotten bigger each and every year. This violet blooms like crazy, it’s the happiest ever. It’s been repotted several times. Continue reading “Portrait of a Blooming Violet!”
Azaleas blooming in Charleston, SC!
The azaleas are blooming in Charleston and they are plentiful, especially on our street. We live in an older neighborhood and just about every house has azaleas that were planted years ago and some are quite big, they are blooming and look so happy right now.
I thought I would take a moment to showcase the white azaleas that you don’t see quite as often as the bright pink (seen in photo above). We have a few white azaleas and the rest are the bright pink.
There is a rule with azaleas. No trimming until after they bloom. Break that rule and you get no blooms. I know… every few years they get leggy and we cut them back, and last year it wasn’t at the optimal time. This year we will cut them all back after the blooming is over and we should be good for next year. I love when the entire street blooms at the same time (that doesn’t always happen). It’s stunning!
Happy Saturday!

Oh Happy Day!
I love this photo… it screams to me “OH HAPPY DAY!” – You can feel the sunshine in an almost flawless sky. The bright green of the leaves against the sunshine yellow flower. You’ll never guess where I took this photo… Continue reading “Oh Happy Day!”
