Beautiful Saturday on Charleston Waterfront
The water, the fountains, the birds and people playing. Even my daughter searching the marsh for fiddler crabs. Simply a great day in the Lowcountry.

Magical Wisteria
The color is magical; the scent intoxicating; and the fleeting nature of the blooms a reminder to hold on to what we cherish while love still blooms.

Charleston Snow
It doesn't happen often, maybe once every 8 to ten years, but when it does it is amazing. And it also brings all of Charleston to a screeching halt. Yup, it snowed last night. And not just a little powdering, but a full fledged stick-to-the-ground snow. I haven't heard the official word yet but would estimate it at about 2 to 3 inches.
Now those of you in the North East or other places of regular snowfall will scoff at this as nothing. "Springtime weather!" you might declare. But in a place where we are in shorts and t-shirts at Christmas it is something wondrous, magical, and more than a little odd. Snow covered palm trees? Snow men on sailboats? Just a bit different from what you might expect.
So, here are some pictures of my yard that I took this morning. Yes, they are all from inside the warm house through the great invention of insulated double pane windows. Snow may be beautiful, but I was born a Southern boy and my blood is thin.

Charleston Railroad Pictures
Ok train fans, what are these? I spotted them at the port terminal today. Cool, but I have no idea what they are.
