Charleston Photo: One of my favorite places…

Backyard - Charleston, SC
Backyard – Charleston, SC

Home is where the heart is, right? Absolutely! I would rather be home than anywhere else! Our backyard is turning into an oasis. Hard work? Oh yeah, getting everything cleaned up and ready for summer. It’s so worth it! I love the hydrangeas peeking through and the focus on the palm in this photo.

Happy (almost) summer! Catch you back here tomorrow!

Charleston Photo… Dramatic skies!

Charleston, SC
Charleston, SC

On the way home from downtown (Charleston) one day, Fred and I were in the car… it was dark and gloomy… you could just FEEL that it was going to start pouring rain. Then the clouds shifted, the sun showed it’s bright face which made the clouds even that more dramatic… in the distance… you can just see the rain. For those of you who live around here, this was taken on the James Island Connector (if I remember correctly) and that is the round Holiday Inn heading to the West Ashley section of Charleston.

Clouds are so cool! Catch you back here tomorrow!

Grand old oak trees…

Look at these grand old oak trees in Charleston, SC – aren’t they fabulous? Believe it or not, this was taken in the spring! These beautiful oaks shed their leaves in the spring, shortly thereafter, they drop what my husband and I call “squiggles”, I’m not sure the technical term. You can see the bright green in the leaves. Gotta love spring!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Crosby’s Fish & Shrimp on Folly Road is one fabulous place! Once in a while they have wonderful dock parties on Friday from 6-10PM with fresh shrimp/fish cooked and served on the dock! Live music, great company – what more could you ask for? Get there around sunset and get some stunning photos while you’re at it! Check out their Facebook page to see if there is a dock party coming up soon!

Check out Crosby’s for your fresh seafood! Is there anything better??

Charleston Spring Photo… looks like fall!

I think in the area where we live, with the beautiful grand oak trees that shed in the spring, our spring looks more like fall… I guess that would make it SPRALL! These trees are tremendous with the Resurrection Fern growing and thriving, the Spanish moss that hangs from the trees and looks magnificent and the number of large, old, azaleas that dot the landscape from house to house.

Enjoy your Spring or Sprall!!

Catch you back here tomorrow!
