Looks like a nice place for an Easter Brunch!

Photo taken at Elizabeth Stuart Design in Mount Pleasant, SC

Exquisite, right? I love this orange table with what reminds me of old time ice cream chairs, and oh! The light yellow umbrella is the perfect accompaniment. I love the shadows from the different plants – This looks like a lovely place for an Easter brunch (or any meal!)

Morning Walk – Charleston, SC

Corner of Tradd St & Legare St, Charleston, SC

It’s so refreshing to get out and walk somewhere different. We have a few different routes or places that we walk but every once in a while it’s like a mini vacation to drive a few miles away, park and get out and walk somewhere different. It opens your perspective and we see fresh ideas. Plants, flowers, etc.

Photo for Palm Sunday – Charleston, SC

My husband and I were downtown a few months ago, we walked out of a little shop on King Street and I saw these palms with the light hitting them so perfectly. Striking! I snapped a photo and saved it for today. So beautiful! Looking for some recipe inspiration for Easter, I have a few ideas…

Azaleas Blooming in Charleston, SC!

Spring is magical everywhere in the world, but springtime in Charleston brings a special kind of beauty. The scents wafting through the air are magical. Charleston has many large live oak trees, in this area they have Spanish moss hanging from their stately limbs, they also have Resurrection fern growing on the large branches. Talk about magical…

My Favorite Flower to Plant!

Flowers with pink buds and green leaves, tall shrubs, pool

This plant is such a joy I cannot even begin to express how much I absolutely adore it. We planted a few in pots last year – around this time, they bloomed all summer long! Literally you do nothing but make sure they don’t get too dry (especially in a pot). Give them a nice drink of water when they look thirsty and they’re good!

Spring. Has. Sprung!

It was officially spring yesterday a little after 5AM EST and I thought this was the perfect photo to share. I love this flower, it was stunning. (I took this photo, but this is not at my house) – I’m not sure of the name of it, but there were plenty and they were beautiful! Very springy! The weather is warming the flowers are blooming – it’s our most beautiful season.

Deleting the overhead power lines…

Marsh view at sunset, pink and orange skies, hints of purple along horizon, dock in the distance

What have you been doing? Oh, not much, just deleting overhead power lines from a beautiful image, sigh… In this area where I snapped this photo while driving by (as the passenger) it was riddled with power lines. So many of them. I don’t have technical wizardry to remove these things, I erase a little at a time until *poof* it’s gone!

Tell me what you think about Daylight Saving Time… #keepit #ornot #letmeknow

White flower closeup, pink flowers blurred in the background, greenery, "Spring Forward!"

Well, it’s that time of year again – time to switch the clocks ahead one hour (lose one hour of sleep) for Daylight Saving Time (DST) tonight. I’ve never been a big fan of switching back and forth. Studies show there are health implications – what are your thoughts?
