city flowers

One of my most favorite things to do is spend time with Fairy Granddaughter!

She loves looking at the old homes as much as I do, and often notices details I might miss.

she loves taking the dolls along on our "adventures"...pointing out pretty fountains, birdbaths, gates, and flowers. She likes to take pictures of the dolls with the pretty things she sees.

On this day, we saw some big beautiful flowers!

I had Tracie along, and she had her blonde doll too.

When we go past this house, I always stop to see if they are blooming.

These are Angel's Trumpet. The bushes can get up to 20 feet tall or so.

pretty color of shutters

well, WHO IS that little child in the white dress? LOL

Yep, it's Fairy Granddaughter, she was playing dress-up that day and had on a long white dress. She blended right in with these old homes full of history.

"Ma-Maw....the gates ARE SO TALL!"

"let's peek in!"

This is a lovely formal garden. Very pretty, but definitely not my style. LOL I like "wild" gardens. LOL

This sits above a doorway

See it......way up there on top of the door?

very grand gates, just beautiful

angel wings:

A beautiful late Summertime walk in lovely Charleston. Where we look at pretty things, play pretend, learn history, make pictures for memories, and enjoy being together. Best kind of day.

What a lovely day with your Fairy Granddaughter and "Friends" Tracie and Blonde girl? They all look like they belong in those lovely gardens and big old houses. I love seeing Fairy Granddaughter in her beautiful long white dress. Yes, she's just an old fashioned girl...the best kind! Love the angel trumpets and also those "angel-wings". Very angelic kind of day! Thank you for sharing it with us. It's a bit chilly here today...48 this morning!!! I love it!!

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