Memorial day weekend

Beautiful American flags snap in the hot breezes

so important to remember WHY we have Memorial day

we took a drive to the beach.....flags greeted us there as well

tables are full!

Folks have come in from the salt and sand of the beach, got cleaned up, and now they are pouring into the restaurants, hungry for supper!

I spotted this amazing hydrangea bush!!---it's like a rainbow, with so many colors! (well, that's probably more than just one bush...but still!!)

beautiful yellow lilies are dancing in the sea breezes as well

Folks enjoying the beach:

there was a blazing sunset!

the next day, back in the city:

this doggie enjoying his ride!

Our streets were FULL OF PEOPLE!

outdoor tables.....full of people!

bright buntings, banners, flags decorate our city

bike cabs and carriages were kept busy all weekend

lots of people making pictures........ooooops! gotta fix my shoe!!

there we go! now we're ready! LOL

girls have got out their pretty summer frocks

our streets and parks were full of people enjoying the holiday

Street scenes:

the crepe myrtles have burst into full bloom!

just never know what you'll see on our streets! LOL

my red/white/blue bows! LOL

I love photographing the pretty windowboxes

WOW...you are a woman on the move for sure. HAHA...Hydrangea blooms are my all time fav. Yes that is more than one bush there. Beautiful and amazing. And those colors...wow. A friend up the street works for a landscaping company and last yr while doing a womans yard. She had this BIG Hydrangea bush that had been growing 40 yrs, she wanted it gone. He dug it up and was able to split it up in 11 bushes. He always post on our neighbor FB page for free plants. I went up to get three to place in front of my deck. He said take as many as I wanted but I wanted some left for others so I got three. They were already in bloom, all pink. I planted them and they are all three blooming purple!! My fave color! I am loving them. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhhh I always feel I have visited Charleston after looking at your pictures, Debbi! You capture the feel of it so well. That hydrangea bush is AMAZING!!!! So beautiful, and the crepe myrtles too. I love them. Awesome arm candy and wow what a salad! How I wish I could go to the beach! But I don't "do" the hot summer sun so that will have to wait until the autumn. It will be here soon enough. xoxo

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