Full Moon Splendor Over Charleston

The moon last night was so captivating that I had to make a detour, park my car and stand in the middle of the street to catch these shots.  Just imagine that full, rising man-in-the-moon casting his gaze over Charleston….

Just Another January Day in Charleston

Since the high was in the mid-60s the past weekend, we jumped at the opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy a spectacular blue day.  My husband, his brother and I hauled my kayak to Shem Creek, rented two others from Coastal Expeditions and paddled our way out to Crab Bank in the middle of Charleston Harbor.  Crab...
