Charleston Photo: Fishing at Bowen’s Island…

Last time we were at Bowen’s Island we met the coolest group of women. They were out on the dock fishing and having the time of their lives. They had such a great attitude. It was chilly, it was windy, and eventually they all left, EXCEPT for this lady… she stayed to catch all the fish. I hope she did, she was a trip!

I love people who have great attitudes, what a difference they can make in other people’s lives! It’s not what you have (materialistically), its all about what you have in your heart, and this woman had plenty!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Have the animals taken over Charleston, SC? A peek inside two stores…

Another few photos from the walk on Easter late afternoon… Funny these two shots are all animals… DOG AND HORSE GALLERY… they have some incredible art, not all the typical art, it’s absolutely amazing as you can tell from this peek inside the door…

and… Goat. Sheep. Cow.  (A fine cheese shop). See what I mean… two photos, five animals… ha ha… need to get in to check this place out… everything was closed on Easter. Have you been here? Any recommendations?

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Photo: Palms on Sunday…

I happen to love these palms that pop up in our backyard, they’re very tropical… and a perfect photo for Palm Sunday…

Enjoy your day! Catch you back here tomorrow!

Photos: Time to act crazy with the sprinkler!

Well, it’s that time of year A L R E A D Y ! Time to play in the sprinkler… Time to get hosed off after your morning walk because it’s so warm… Crazy weather. Am hoping it doesn’t get any warmer (yeah, right!). It seems that everyone has weird weather right now. For most of us we simply cannot complain. It’s beautiful!

Ahhh, show those teeth Charlie! The beast gets a little crazy when he gets wet!

Ok, it’s time to calm down… time to go run laps I N S I D E the house… ahhhh… happy weekend!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Photo… This IS me being still…

A quick weekend shot for you… Charlie loves having his photo taken (not)… He holds his pose perfectly UNTIL I snap and then whoosh… he moves, and I swear he says “HA”!

Enjoy your day, get out and move! Catch you back here tomorrow!

Does it feel like spring where you’re at?? This weather is heaven!

This has been the craziest winter that I can ever remember in all my life. I grew up in Michigan, where (at least in my memories) it snowed in the winter, and snow pretty much stayed around until spring. Now it comes and goes, and this year??? Lots of places are without their regular amounts of snow. Wonder why the big change all of a sudden? Here in Charleston, SC it was downright freezing last winter (well, to our standards it was freezing)… this year it’s been so nice. Lots of days in 60′s and 70′s. A few in the 80′s! We slept with the windows open recently… I love that! I’m wondering what that means come summer? It certainly can’t be any warmer than it normally is here in Charleston! Heat index in the 120′s. It’s barely tolerable, and makes me want to pack and move to the Antarctic! We were talking to a woman in a store yesterday, she said many customers were telling her that if we have a warm winter that means our summer will be cooler… OH YAY! HAS ANYONE ELSE HEARD THAT? Personally I don’t think there is any science behind it… it’ll be what it’ll be and we’ll just have to go with it… Dump a few bags of ice in the pool and move on, ha ha… Hope the weather is lovely where you are!

Photo… water like glass… Tenants Harbor, ME

This photo was taken in Tenants Harbor, ME… near the East Wind Inn where we were having dinner… as I remember they had a to-die-for coconut pie and wonderful Jamie Wyeth art on the walls! I love the glassiness of the water… so serene!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Photo: California wine country…

We stayed in San Francisco, CA years ago… had the best time, then headed to the Wine Country… Napa and Sonoma are two beautiful places to visit, so go if you can!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Photo… Lifesaver at Shem Creek Park, Mt. Pleasant, SC

There is nothing better to me than to be able to catch that golden light at sunset… I’m a crazy person snapping pictures, because you never know which ones will be “magic”. How nice to live in a digital era. To be free of buying film, loading film, worrying about running out of film, taking it to get developed, etc. etc… Now trees are saved, no one prints as many photos… you have them if you need them and can print them in the blink of an eye, or send them into cyberspace where they will be printed and mailed to you. Very cool indeed.

I love the golden light on this bright orange lifesaver float. I swear lightbulbs should mimic this light… especially in big stores with lots of lighting… the world would be a happier place! Catch you back here tomorrow!

You won’t believe your eyes… Charleston, SC sunset…

My sister was in town visiting from Michigan and we headed to the new Shem Creek Park in Mt. Pleasant, SC. We got some amazing photos, when it didn’t seem like anything else was going to happen we headed home… going over the bridges (Mt P and Ashley River) we saw the most stunning sunset. EVER. This photo was taken with my phone going over the Ashley River Bridge…

Catch you back here tomorrow!
