The first place we visited in Charleston was Magnolia Plantation, which turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the trip. It was a Sunday afternoon, warm, and mostly empty (except for some friendly animals including miniature horses. Miniature. Horses.) We stayed for a few hours…I shot roll after roll of film as my eyes adjusted to the sight of magnolia blooms and giant oak trees and sunshine. These are a few of my favorite photos from that afternoon…
A few images from our trip to Charleston and Savannah, ooohhh, 5 months ago. Better late than never? We only spent a morning in Savannah, stopping first at the Bonaventure Cemetery before visiting Flannery O’Connor’s childhood home (which Jason wrote about here.) It was grey, quiet, completely empty, and I took too many pictures of red autumn leaves tangled with spanish moss. Naturally.

Something bright, simple, and pretty. Because today is not.
Signs of life in our lilac tree this morning.
Canon 5D mkii, 24-70 @ 2.8, and my Hoya +4 filter (which I just realized I can use on all my lenses and not just my Contax!)
The time, right before bed, when we talk about our favorite part of the day. Our long walk was mine. “When you told me I could give all my dinosaurs water” was hers today.
It’s been so long since I’ve had anything colorful to photograph…
Photo by Esme. : )
Chrysalises! So many. Tiny nature museums are the best. (p.s. I’m on Instagram…are you?)
That’s enough from you, shark.
It snows, and snows, and snows…
Starting today, a lot more fresh air to get me out of this ridiculous winter rut. Next up, being a better mom, running a better business, and less slacking all around. Totally doable.
We built a Poe-man today, because, I don’t know…have you met my husband?
My mom and I are learning to make flower crowns. Because it’s practical.
My Esme, writing a letter to her daddy. Something about dinosaurs.
