Sometimes it’s nice to get away. Somewhere different from where you are. If the weather is hot, then a cool location sounds wonderful. If it’s cool it would be nice to feel the sun shining. Cleaning out photos the other day I ran across this photo taken years ago at the Ritz Carlton – Amelia Island. We went for a few years at Thanksgiving and what a great time we had. We found a wonderful little Italian Continue reading “A Quick Daydream Vacation…”
I LOVE THIS PHOTO. Not sure why. It’s got so many things going on. Sometimes a quick snap can turn into something so visually interesting – something you could write many stories about… It looks like something in a scary movie to me… I think it’s the moon, the angle and the house that does it. Continue reading “Looks like something in a movie…”
Look how much life a little bit of greenery adds! I absolutely adored this huge dracaena that we had for years. Continue reading “A touch of green on St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀”
Charlie can be so photogenic – he is one of my favorite subjects. That messy hair, those soulful eyes and that happy look. His shadows blow me away, especially when we’re walking – that wild hair sticking out all over, makes me laugh…
11 years ago today… ELEVEN! Where has the time gone? I remember it like it was yesterday. My parents came to visit from Michigan, and we went on a cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines out of Charleston, SC – we had so much fun. We ate well, and they had Cooking Light (smarter options) available at each meal. Everything was fabulous! Continue reading “Cruise bound – 11 years ago today.”
While much of the country is in a deep freeze with snow accumulation totals that are crazy, we are blooming in Charleston, SC. Continue reading “Azaleas in Bloom – Charleston, SC 🌸⏰”
The sky was clear as we left out for our walk – then all of a sudden it looked like cotton puffs in the sky. Just one section of sky and the rest remained clear. I thought all those puffy clouds looked so interesting with the very winter looking tree.
Tulips can be so dramatic, they’re one of my absolute favorites – especially when the light is shining through them! They have such personality – you never know exactly what they’re going to do… This was a tall bunch and I figured they would stand straight and tall at dark and then with time open up and reach out like many of them do. But this bunch Continue reading “Tulips in Sunshine!”
As I write this (and schedule it to publish) – it’s a cloudy and gray day in Charleston (which I tend to love) – So I thought I would peruse my photos from our last visit to Maine – and pull up an equally gray day. Although there are so many interesting and bright colors that pop – a gray day is still beautiful! Last year we had many foggy days which kept the temps cooler which we were happy about (especially since when we left Charleston it was very steamy).
You can barely see Manana Island but if you look you will see it. Thick fog. One minute you can see clearly and *POOF* the next minute everything is gone. Too cool!
Enjoy the gray days, it makes you appreciate the sunshine that much more! Time is passing so quickly… tomorrow is March 1! Can you believe it?
Catch you back here tomorrow!

Taking photos while walking around Charleston, SC is a dream. I haven’t done it in a while and I need to get out and walk the peninsula and take photos of everything that catches my eye, so that I can share it with you! Continue reading “Charleston, SC Beauty”
I like to refer to this little stretch as “Susan’s Flowers”. Aren’t they just beautiful? This is one of my favorite places to walk past – although I don’t get very far because the flowers inevitably stop me in my tracks! Snap, snap, snap – many photos of her hard work! Continue reading “Susan’s Flowers – Monhegan”
Monhegan, Maine – a cool island located approximately 12 nautical miles off the mainland. It’s a small island that is full of character and the most stunning beauty you could ever imagine.
