This looks like a pretty nice thing to be doing on Mother’s Day in Charleston. This photo was taken by the corner of Rutledge and Murray Boulevard…in front of the house with the guardian stone pigs.

Some Charleston roses for all the moms out there for Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day!

Charleston Driveway

Even the driveways in Charleston, SC have a special quality about them.

With spring bursting all around it, this Charleston driveway on Tradd Street is a beautiful place to park.

A different view of the peninsula of Charleston– across the marshes and river from James Island… all the way to the Ravenel (Cooper River) Bridge. The large white building on the right is the Fort Sumter House (formerly the Fort Sumter Hotel). In 1942 John F. Kennedy — then a young naval officer — was caught having a tryst in the hotel with a woman who is believed to have been a Nazi spy. He wa quickly shipped out of town and assigned to PT-109 in the Pacific.

Charleston Gaslights

One of the things that adds a wonderful ambiance to Charleston are the number of gaslights around downtown. These can be found outside the Fulton Lane Inn.

Charleston Cobbles

The cobblestone streets of Charleston, SC were once used to help induce childbirth in pregnant women.

With eight cobblestone streets, it’s not too hard to find a spot to take a bumpy ride in Charleston — like you can get here on South Adgers Wharf. In fact, local legend has it that taking rides on these streets was a way to induce childbirth in pregnant women.
