Impressions of Charleston, Part 1

or Snow Falling on Palm Trees...















(Even though I'd like to take credit, Daniel took most of these beautiful photos, while my hands stayed toasty warm in my gloves...)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your amazing comments on my pastel girls!! It is fun to paint them, but even more wonderful showing them to you and "hearing" your encouraging words. This Valentine's Day I especially think of you all with much love!

    Hi Liebchen,
    Palmtrees and snow??? Wauw! That must have been a nice experience. Love the buildings and the reflection of the towers in the water.
    Enjoy...

  3. Good morning!

    Your photograhy skills have reached new heights, not mere snapshots, examplified by these images and most perfectly the refection of the ornate domes on a puddle of water. Magnificent.

    What a chic couple you are! You know what? A different time and place yet reminds me of that photograph of your fashionable parents. Silke, you are a very attractive couple and you look cute. I love Daniel's coat!

    The snow did indeed make Charleston very iteresting! One of these days I will have to convince the Viking we should venture down there from Greenville.

    What a storied south and a new story you are teling. Snow in Charleston. Strom Thurmond, rest in peace, would have never believed!

    Hope your Sunday rocks!

  8. Hi Silke, Happy Valentine's Day! What beautiful photos. I haven't been to Charleston since 1997 (where my husband was living at the time and where he proposed). It's good to see some familiar places! Have you eaten at Magnolia's? And how odd to see SNOW there!
    Have a great rest of your trip, dearest friend.

  33. No matter who took the photographs, I'm glad that they were taken. Snow, in Charleston? It seems so wrong!! But the beauty remains. And the hotel? The pools? ooohhhhh!!!
