Charleston's Diner En Blanc

Tonight was Charleston's Diner En Blanc.

The elegant pop-up outdoor picnic event began around 1988 and was first in Paris, and is now celebrated in over seventy cities around the world. Attendees gather at a secret location which is revealed just shortly before the event, they dress all in white, bring their own tables and chairs (white), white tablecloths and decorations, and their own gourmet dinner and wine.

Time to hit the dance floor!

After dining and dancing, this tired couple is headed home....

A Very Charleston Easter!

She's carrying her Easter lily!

I love this little park! Here's my Easter bonnet!------

.......It's beige on the outside-----and hot pink on the inside!

(Loved the print on my new Easter Dress! My dress was soft and comfortable this year as were my comfy flat shoes!)

more Easter hats about town----

STUNNING FLOWER BOXES!

Flowers were putting on their best show.......and Easter egg hunts were had!

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........................
