The studio is open for business!

There's still some construction debris lying around and a few things need to be tidied up, but you would never know it from these .... Linda agreed to help me test drive my set-up and she got some new Facebook pics in return :)

Charleston City Soccer co-ed Champs

I guess the pictures are worth 1,000 words. They won the final last night - in overtime and Matt scored the winning goal! Made his mama proud :)

Grillin' n Chillin'

Spent awhile Monday evening with friends Lee and Charleigh at their new home on Church Creek, Johns Island. Very peaceful, good food, great company, and you sure can't beat the view. Thanks!

Last one in this series

Couldn't resist one last rusty tin image. Note the sign outside the door "Open and Closed when I want to" Gotta love it! Found this in a little town called Williston, SC.

...and just two more for now

Two more country gems as I work through the many images of my trip from Atlanta to Charleston along country roads. No rusty tin in these - well, ok there's a rusty tin barn roof in one ..

More country images

As I work through the images that I collected during my drive through the backroads of Georgia and South Carolina, I will post a couple throughout the week until I have finished them and put my favorites on my www.vanessak.com website. Here's an image I found in a town called Williston, SC. It seems I have a penchant for rusty old tin. I wonder what a shrink would make of that! Tomorrow I will post something entirely different ...

The roads less traveled

Drove back from Atlanta to Charleston today using secondary roads all the way until Summerville. I will be writing more on this later, but for right now I can only say that if you haven't explored beyond the interstates and ubiquitous fast food ez exits, you really have no idea what you are missing. There are treasures lurking just feet away from these boring tree and kudzu-lined corridors that criss-cross the US. I was captivated by the charm of the rural landscapes and small towns.
