Charleston Photo – Earthquake Bolts

Charleston, SC

Regal. A home with presence, wouldn’t you say? The varying textures, the dark trim, the reflections in those beautiful windows all make this one heck of a house in Charleston, SC.

Those dark crosses on the left hand side of the building on the second and third floors are Earthquake Bolts!

Monhegan Photo – The Lupine Gallery in Fog

Lupine Gallery, Monhegan, Maine

The Lupine Gallery swaddled in fog. Heavenly, isn’t it? The Lupine Gallery is one of our favorite places to visit on Monhegan island. We visit (at least) daily. They have the most wonderful art work, from fabulous artists. The upstairs of this building is so amazing, you won’t ever want to leave!

While the gallery isn’t open year around, they do have a fabulous website! If you’re in Maine and happen to visit Monhegan, don’t miss this gallery!

The little things…

Fresh, ripe, wonderful tomatoes really should not be classified as a “little thing”. The fresh taste is big, Big, BIG! It makes every recipe you make even more wonderful than it normally is.

Always be on the lookout for the little things in life – they create an abundance of happiness!

Hydrangeas that glow!

Hydrangea and Daylily

We’ve got quite a few hydrangeas and I swear they glow in certain light. It’s amazing. I love how this (very old) daylily popped up next to the hydrangea. The color combination (hard to tell here) was stunning!

Do you have hydrangeas? What color do you prefer? Do you add anything to your soil to try to get the color to change? Ours are this purply blue color and I love them!

How is this for a room with a view?

Room with a View

A river view is a beautiful thing. Treasured. The St. Clair River in Algonac, MI flows beautifully – and just look at this lucky bird. He built his home with a river view. Smart.

I love how the morning sun hits the roof of the birdhouse. Electric! Beautiful sun on the branch of the tree. I kick myself every time I miss a sunrise when I’m visiting. They’re so spectacular, they’re worth getting up for!

27 State Street B&B - Charleston, SC

This is such a cool building, so it doesn’t take a lot to make it into a wonderful photo. I snapped this photo in March of 2007. Just look at the charm and character. Isn’t the old wavy glass on the windows just beautiful? I love the different textures – this building has such a wonderful patina!
