I am not tired of the skeleton posts but you may be. Here is a frog post for a change!

Charleston Quotes

South Battery, Charleston, SC 

“Walking the streets of Charleston in the late afternoons of August 

was like walking through gauze or inhaling damaged silk.”

It might be fall but our gardens still look good. In fact it is raining at the moment and that should cheer things up. I took the top photo on a recent walk-about town but the shot below is from the hospital garden this afternoon.

Black & White

Charleston Garden, Charleston, SC   

It is such a lovely garden and we only get to look in through the gate so it's hard to get a different view. Black and white ain't bad either!

Late night here after going to the Silent Auction event at the Lowcountry Senior Center and uploading their event pictures. Shrimp City Slim provided entertainment and the place was bustling with activity. It was a benefit to raise funds and by the looks of things they should be successful.

G'night kids.

The older part of the peninsula with it's secret gardens, gates and quirkiness always makes for an enjoyable walk. One of the sad things about most new construction is how incredibly boring it is to walk past. In a car perhaps it isn't so obvious but on foot there doesn't seem to be much charm or difference to enjoy from the outside. These folks in the historic district had a lovely formal garden although I did take the shot before our recent wind storm.

Speaking of storms it breaks my heart to walk below my neighborhood West Ashley and see homes that had just recovered from the floods last October torn apart again. I know at least four people who had repeat floods. Two of them are from the Shadowmoss development and one of the ladies has flooded three times. What a sad mess.

My street seems to be mostly back together except for the giant piles of debris waiting to be picked up. I walked back at dusk this evening and almost tripped over a branch sticking out in the road. Ooops!

What movie shall I see tomorrow?
