Textures - the lowcountry carpet

Charleston, S.C.

Is there anything more beautiful than nature? I've been on a texture kick this year. Still taking pictures of what I walk on. What a glorious lowcountry carpet!

Betcha kucha

Charleston, S.C.

I liked the shape of the tree and had this on my little pocket camera card.

Pecha kucha, pecha kucha, pecha kucha. Gotta say it three times fast.

Pecha Kucha tickets are now on sale here. Just $5 each and you can only buy two. You are notified of the location shortly before the event. Don't say I never invite you to anything.

Speaking of inviting....the Lowcountry Aids Benefit, Dining with Friends is this Saturday evening. Participants host parties in their homes and then everyone gathers at the Maritime Center at nine pm for champagne and dessert.

For many years I have rallied friends and staffed the Champagne Table. I have a good crew but let me know if you want to help out. I can still use some champagne opening muscle power and I am sure they need volunteer help in general. It is a high energy and fun event. The info number is 843-747-2273.

AIDS Walk - Hampton Park

AIDS Walk, Hampton Park, Charleston, S.C.

I like uploading and posting pictures while the event is still going on and this time it probably is! I went early to catch them setting up for the AIDS Walk at Hampton Park.

They had a silent auction, vendor tables, kids activities etc. but as always lately the adorable dogs stole the show. What would happen if we simply had a "Dog Walk"?
