Merry Christmas

May this be a time to give thanks for all the wonderful things in life and put the less wonderful things behind us.  My wish is that the world would experience the real meaning of Christmas.

Stono Sunset

This was the scene at low tide this evening as the sun was setting over the Stono River.  Gotta love the lowcountry.

You should have been at Folly Beach tonight

The windy, rainy front had finally blown through and the sky was clearing as the sun set.  Breathtakingly beautiful.

Here comes that Christmas Spirit

Last night I did a Christmas decoration shoot for a downtown hotel.  Up until then I had not been feeling the Christmas spirit.  I was still caught up in Thanksgiving and goodness me, Christmases sure do seem to come around fast the older I get.  Anyway, the sparkling lights and gifts under the tree did a lot to move me further along.  This was a fun gig.

Matt gets a new do

So today was a little slow, nothing that had to be done with any urgency and nowhere that we needed to be, so Leigh took the clippers to her brother's head, and this was the result.  Entertaining and ultimately an improvement I think.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

So much to be grateful for.  Let me count my blessings - geez, I'm getting into Obama numbers here ...
Best of all though is family, and of course the kids always steal the show.

Charleston Jewels
