Bench with a view

Hampton Park Terrace, Charleston, S.C.

I did my walk around the Hampton Park are this morning. What a beautiful day. It won't be long before this marsh is lush and green but the gold and brown has it's own beauty. People are taking advantage of the sunshine running, biking and doing yoga in the park. Happy day!

In other news, the next big festival on the Charleston calendar is the Food & Wine Festival. Most of the events are above my budget but this time they are pairing up with the Pecha Kucha night and including the food with the presentation. Interested?This will be on Friday, March 6 at 7 p.m. for $40.More info here:
