A lovely afternoon stroll

Being new to Charleston, we are still exploring. Each time I get a day off is like an adventure.This is part of an old church at Fort Dorchester. I loved the old brick and the archways and especially the view through the archway.
We meandered along this pathway until we came upon this wooden walkway that goes out over the river and makes a semicircle back. I just love tree lined paths and streets. They are so inviting, don't you think? They beckon me to enter and see what sort of surprise is at the end.
I looked up and this is what I saw. Spanish moss draped trees with a blue sky in the background. The trees seem so romantic.
This is an image from the waters edge. There were people picnicking, fishing sitting beneath the trees at picnic tables; some reading and some chatting. I would love to come back before sun down and take some more shots with less harsh lighting.

  2. Tammy I am so glad you are enjoying Charleston!!! We loved living there. I went to CofC and my husband went to the Citadel. We were married in the beautiful church on the Citadel campus:) Seeing your photos makes my heart ache for cobble stone streets and beautiful rambling houses:) Thank you for everything Sweet Friend.

  5. Hi Tammy
    I was so happy to hear from you again. I have enjoyed catching up with your blog today. It looks so beautiful down by the lake. I loved your pictures. Over here it's looking very wintery and this morning our cars were covered in ice.
