Cottonmouth?

This big guy was in our backyard yesterday afternoon.

Anyone confirm what he is?

The ambiance can best be described as upscale, “adult contemporary”. Several TV’s are mounted around the bar, encroaching on an otherwise pleasant [...]

Ahh Charleston….

Quotes here are from “Charleston Watch“.
City Council debates the issue of low income housing on Daniel Island and West Ashley.
“The black minister who spoke against the Daniel Island and West Ashley developments also feared the high incidence of crime in a clustered development. She also made the point that the development planned for the Sherwood [...]

Bridge fireworks

The picture stinks but the fireworks were great.

Much better shots can be found here.
