South Carolina Aquarium Thru the Eyes of a Child

The South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston is a fun experience any time. Watching the excitement of a child seeing it for the first time is priceless. Fish and animals from all parts of South Carolina are on display, from the mountain forest, to the Piedmont, coastal plain, salt marsh, coast and ocean. There are fish of all kinds as well as birds, otters, alligators, and turtles. There is even a Touch Tank were you can touch and feed Rays and other sea creatures.

Hopelands Gardens Camellia

The Camellias at Hopelands Gardens were beautiful this year. Aiken, South Carolina has been having a colorful spring as flowers of all descriptions having been blooming.

More Turtles, Please

It was a warm day at Hopelands Gardens and the turtles were out in force. I think we need just a few more turtles and we can fill this raft.

Street Musician on King Street in Charleston

Charleston, South Carolina is one of my favorite places to visit. Walking down King Street, you are always sure to see many interesting sights. This street musicain was busy playing his sax while the busy city passed by. He must have been making some people happy, because his instrument case had quite a collection of dollars and coins that people had left to support his efforts.
