Just here to wish everyone a happy Saturday! Sending an image of
a live oak with the sun hitting the draping Spanish Moss and highlighting the resurrection fern – which is quite a miracle. Looks crispy and dead one moment and if a splash of rain hits it, turns bright green like the healthiest fern you’ve ever seen. Continue reading “Spanish Moss in Our Live Oak Trees”
This cemetery is located on Monhegan Island in Maine….. Continue reading “Monhegan Cemetery in Fog”
It’s always so exciting just getting to this point. To the point where you see the “Welcome to Port Clyde” sign hanging as you get ready to board the boat to Monhegan Island. Peace and tranquility are coming soon! The long days spent walking, eating, watching are on their way, woohoo! Continue reading “Monhegan Boat Line – Port Clyde, ME”
The large live oak trees in Charleston have such presence. They’re so strong. They have so much life with their branches reaching, twisting and turning. They are such beautiful trees. This is a close up of just how cool the shadows are on these trees. This is without the Spanish moss and Resurrection Fern. This is a younger tree. We planted it about 24 years ago, it was 10 years old at time of planting. We never guessed we would have seen it so large in our lifetime. Continue reading “A Strong Presence”
An abstract painting? Something from outer space?
I subconsciously am always on the lookout for a cool photo no matter the subject. Sometimes it’s the way light hits or the way shadows form. Sometimes it’s something interesting and different and sometimes it’s an everyday item/occurrence seen in a different light. Continue reading “What is this?”

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!
