Chalmers St.

Pink House, Charleston, SC    
I frequently pass this darling home on Chalmers St. that is often described as the oldest home on the peninsula but rarely find it without a car parked right in front of it. No car blocking the view and crepe myrtle trees in bloom - my lucky day!

A short walk down the street I always stop to admire my initials in the author Josephine Pinckney's home. JP! How considerate.

    Charleston is an expert at "prettying" up the neighbourhoods!

      The blossoms are the icing on the cake.

    Getting a photo of beautiful homes and buildings without a vehicle in front is ongoing challenge, isn't it? You've got to have a lot of patience and a good memory for the structures you like, so you can check back from time to time.

      It is and I go back and forth on trying. Part of the charm of old photos is dating the vehicles and admiring the clothes. Sadly today's tourists/folks passing by all tend to be wearing baggy, rumpled shirts and shorts and don't add much to the picture.
