I love living in the Lowcountry and my favorite town in the universe – Charleston. Okay, so I don’t live exactly in Charleston, but close. Very close. Here’s a few pictures from my photo album. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
The magnificent Angel Oak is on John’s Island. It is estimated to be between 300 to 400 years old. It has a height of 65 feet and a circumference of 25.5 feet.
This is one of many beautiful alleyways downtown.
Cypress Gardens is located on a former rice plantation. It is a blackwater bald cypress/tupelo swamp. Some of the more notable movies filmed here include The Patriot, Cold Mountain, The Notebook, North and South, and of course, The Swamp Thing.
A yummy batch of local blue crabs, no longer blue now that they are steamed and ready to eat!
A tidal creek behind Folly Island. It is my favorite fishing and crabbing spot and I refuse to reveal its exact location!
I love Charleston. And, Savannah, too. I just can’t wait for sister vacation this year because I will be visiting two of my favorite places!!
You could build a mansion in that old tree…but why spoil it. It’s perfect the way it is.
On one of our sister vacation days, we might go see The Angel oak and then go to the next island over – Wadmalaw Island to the tea plantation and Firefly Distillery. Very inexpensive to go there, unless you buy something!
Whatever we do it is going to be fun!!! It’s such a beautiful part of the country with many things to see. Plus Folly Beach…yea!!!!
I’ll come visit for that trip! Firefly distillery was super fun!
Remember, Carrie, we have to come to Savannah one day on sister vacation.
I’d just like to have a tree house in that Angel Oak!
Love that tree!
