Marsh near Bowens Island

DSCN1967

A hot day near Bowens Island Restaurant. I highly recommend it! Fresh seafood, cheap prices, great (but not fancy, not even close) atmosphere. Anything goes… I wouldn’t dress up! It’s a happening place so check it out! Restaurant is open TUES – SAT, so keep that in mind!

Charleston Window Box…

Beautiful, right? There is nothing like walking around Charleston, SC… its just so pretty all the time! The window boxes are over the top gorgeous! It really makes a statement, doesn’t it? I guarantee you that someone is busy keeping that creeping fig trimmed so perfectly this time of year. I remember when we had it on our house. It was great, made the house look like an English cottage, but Fred had to get the ladder and go around the house twice a WEEK with scissors… then the bee’s got bad and we decided to take it off the house. Whew!

Have a wonderful weekend!!  Catch you back here tomorrow!

Brilliant Monhegan Sky!

Fred and I have been so fortunate to always have such fabulous weather when we visit Monhegan. This wonderful Maine island that sits off the coast is so special in every single way. What makes it so beautiful (other than the surroundings)? The everyday things, from the stacked lobster traps to the colorful clothes on the line blowing in the wind.

Magical. Absolutely magical!

Botany Bay Trail…

If you’ve never been to Botany Bay (near Edisto, SC), you don’t know what you’re missing! Beautiful beach, grand old oak trees that form a canopy over the road and are a sanctuary to many birds (and snakes)… beauty everywhere!

Have a great weekend and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!

Island Inn Monhegan from the Wharf!

DSCN0689

Isn’t this just the best place ever? Monhegan is stunning and beautiful and when you step off the boat this is what you see. The Island Inn sits regally at the top of the hill. It’s worth the climb, trust me! If you’ve never been to Monhegan before, it’s a treat. It isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for a golf course or a mall or to spend time watching TV, this is not the place for you. If you would like to see unspeakable beauty, meet some of the coolest people (other guests who come year after year quickly become like family) and taste some fabulous food, this is your place!

Catch you back here tomorrow! Back to my normal posts next week!

Port Clyde, Maine from Monhegan Boat Line Headed Toward Monhegan!

I must have Monhegan on my mind! This quaint island in Maine is just so very special. I wonder how many people it affects this way? You don’t have to live there for you to feel a deep connection. Weird but true! This is a shot taken leaving on the boat headed towards Monhegan (about 10 miles off the coast). This is Port Clyde General Store/Dip Net Restaurant, located in none other than, Port Clyde, Maine. Another fabulous place. This is also one of my very favorite places!

Red Hot Beauty on the Water!

Stunning isn’t it? It would be nice to be in a boat on the water zooming around under the most gorgeous sunset ever! I am going to pretend to do that over the next few days, so please enjoy some of my favorite photos… and I’ll be back to my normal posts next week.

Where is the most beautiful sunset that you’ve experienced??

By the light of the moon – Mackinac Island, MI

Day off for me so I’m treating you to a glimpse of Mackinac Island, MI. It’s a place we used to go as kids. I loved it then and I love it now. There is just nothing like getting on that ferry and heading to the island! No cars, just horses, fudge, bikes, stunning views and peace and quiet!

When my parents were in town a while back we headed to Botany Bay and then to the beach at Edisto. I’ve always loved these kinds of shots, underneath the pier… very cool! Literally… much cooler than in the sun! The sound of the waves was wonderful!

Enjoy your day, may it be peaceful like lounging on the beach with the waves crashing beside you!

This photo was taken last year on Easter, what a festive porch! There is nothing like walking around downtown, especially on or after a holiday when the decorations are still hanging. You wouldn’t believe how many fresh flower wreaths there are. Just stunning! What a treat this city is!

Hope you enjoy your Sunday!! Catch you back here tomorrow!
