A serene walk as we meander up & down beautiful Charleston, SC streets ... come with me ...
Thank you Miss Beverly, our wonderful hostess for Pink Saturday ... please join all the other lovely ladies @
The beautifully sweeping stair entries of beautifully
groomed homes invite you to visit ...
magnificent architecture ...
peeking in at the wonderful courtyards ...
and babbling fountains ...
the elegant verandas ...
sweeping front porches to cool you in the soft
afternoon breeze ...
the shading palms gently swaying ...
warmly decorated entries ...
beautiful plants & powerful statues ...
the massive homes of yore, bustling with daily
life, the aromas of fresh baked bread & pies ...
the families gathering for the holiday
celebrations filling the homes with merriment
as they do today ...
standing on the balconies waving to the ships passing by ...
a child peering from the windows on a chilly day ...
lovers sitting on the rock garden walls in the cool of a spring romantic eve ...
horses clippity clopping down to the carriage house after a long day in the city ...
little children merrily playing 'hoops' in the yard ...
can you picture the ladies in their long gowns bustling about serving tea on the front porches
in the cool of the afternoons ...
late evening picnics beneath the shade of trees on a hot summer's eve ...
the huge warm gatherings of families for holidays, baptisms, marriages & memorials ...
the lush gardens surrounding each home ...
the moments of prayer beneath the
heavenly skies in the serenity of the garden ...
watching the troops as they arrived to impose battle in the Civil War ...
Oops! ... this fella was so tickled when he pulled up this wee fish along the Battery ...
I love the widow's walk on these awesome homes, can you even imagine wearing black for a year, never leaving your home ...
the romance these people created in their property entries, gardens & homes is breathtaking ...
the pride they took in the construction of each home whether large or small ...
the greeting owl perched on the elegant balcony architecture, a powerful presence ...
I picture children playing on the porch in the heat of the day sipping fresh lemonade ....
dancing til the wee hours of the morn on a cold winter's night ...
aren't the details of the
house over the moon gorgeous & romantic ...
a sweet soft blue floral from the garden ...
was it a rich plantation owner or politician or ship captain that owned this masterpiece home ...
tucked in the courtyard entry are many statues throughout the city ...
this city, as in Savannah will sweep you away in romance, beauty, serenity ...
as you enter into another 'world' & 'time' of the past meeting the present ...
to melt your heart & treasure forever.
