Night Market

Friday night we went to the night market. Always interesting things there, and the worst of the day's brutal heat is subsiding as a balmy night breeze picks up.

See the little girl in the white dress? She was acting out and doing all the cute little hand/dance motions to the old song "The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round" as the performer sang. So cute!

Intricate local sweetgrass baskets:

Lots of neat things to see and/or purchase!....beautiful paintings and drawings, handmade jewelry, candles, clothing, woodworking, cosmetics, leather goods, glass items, etc.

I spotted these bright and colorful bottles and went in for a closer look!

Wouldn't those be beautiful in a windowsill at night?

And WHAT IS this scary creepy strange looking thing here?!

Wait....it's singing and DANCING!!?? to oldies music??

It's okay....it's just "Mr. Bonetangles", a regular Charleston performer. Don't see too many marionettes these days do we?

I'm sure that walking around Charleston at NIGHT in the summer would be preferable to me since I hate the hot summers... Looks like TONS of fun!!!
Hugs,

You really do get to see some of the most beautiful sights! I've just caught up looking back at all your pictures. Lately, I've been behind with everything. Love your outfits!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
