A splash of color in North Charleston

I have a fondness for murals and street art that incorporate existing structures into the art and mural artist Patch Whisky did that in this wall in North Charleston. You have to smile when you see this!

It is Friday kids! This is Volunteer Week so I have been hopping from one recognition event to another for the deserving group of volunteers I work with. I spent yesterday at Roper Hospital, today at the Lowcountry Senior Center and tomorrow the St. Francis Hospital volunteers party down. I still need to sign around 100 Volunteer Service hour certificates and my little car is packed up with event goodies.

Burns Lane, Charleston, S.C.

Hey, I thought it was supposed to rain all day! It wasn't a bad day at all.  I stayed up most of last night reading a book on my tablet so it was a good thing I didn't have to leap out of bed and get to work this morning.

Here are a couple of additions to my Charleston Doors series. It doesn't quite match the poster that is sold to tourists that can be found here: Doors of Charleston Poster. My first shot is on Burns Lane and is the back entrance to Tasty Thai restaurant (Green Curry ....Mmmmmm) and the graffiti door below looks like Patch Whisky's work.
