Park Ramble

Pineapple Fountain, Waterfront Park, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


A lovely way to begin the day is a ramble in the park... Waterfront Park in Charleston offers beautiful fountains, shady lanes and pleasant views of the harbor, especially at sunrise.

    That must be the Mother of all Pineapples!
    We have some baby pineapples in Kota Tinggi too.
    Is that our pineapple link?

    Just got back from Switzerland & France yesterday.
    Had a brilliant time there. :^)

    Do you sell any of your pictures? My Fiance and I were engaged at this fountain and I have been looking for a picture of it to hang in our home. This is the best one I've seen! Please email me and let me know if you do! mrspenn13@gmail.com
