Charleston's Cooper River Bridge.

the new bridge...

The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, also known as the Cooper River Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge over the Cooper River in South Carolina, connecting downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The eight lane bridge satisfied the capacity of U.S. Highway 17 when it opened in 2005 to replace two obsolete cantilever truss bridges. The bridge has a main span of 1,546 feet (471 m), the longest among cable-stayed bridges in the Western Hemisphere. It was built using the design-build method and was designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff.The bridge footprint was determined to create minimal impacts to existing neighborhoods within the city of Charleston and to be sensitive to the enhancement of the public realm.

sweet grass.


from national geographic...On the sidewalks at Broad and Meeting Streets, African-American women sit under umbrellas weaving and selling traditional sweet-grass baskets. The city’s grandest houses cluster on the end of the peninsula, south of Broad. (Their lucky residents are sometimes referred to as SOBs.)

you can call me...flipper.



A variety of marine mammals inhabit the ocean around Kiawah Island. The most common by far is the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). Adult dolphins will be 6-10 feet in length and weigh up to 500 pounds or more. These dolphins can be seen frequently in the surf, inlet, rivers, and creeks surrounding Kiawah Island. One of the best spots to see dolphins is in Captain Sam's Inlet which separates Kiawah from Seabrook Island to the west.

toast of the town


nicky, kate, new york city.
must be feeling nostalgic today...no, that is everyday.

the snowy egret


you will spot many a snowy egret in kiawah...
Distinguished from the great egret by its smaller size , its black bill, and yellow feet, the snowy egret can be spotted on Assateague from spring through fall, often along the refuge's Wildlife Loop (map) at the edge of the water in a marsh.
In the latter part of the 19th century and into the early twentieth, snowy egret plumes were very popular on hats. The result was that these birds were hunted until they were nearly extinct.

Found along much of the East Coast and elsewhere in the U.S., snowy egrets spend the winter from South Carolina southward. Their main foods are fish, crabs, amphibians, and insects.
