| Sunrise and Pineapple Fountain, Waterfront Park, Charleston, South Carolina © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved Seeming to dangle from the fingers of a fine fountain, a Carolina Lowcountry sun rises to begin a new day. In that same spirit, I shall begin a new chapter in the story line of Doug's Photo Blog. Shifting the setting from our adventures out West, I return to the Deep South, where Becky and I have lived for more than 25 years in Charleston. Every story should offer a bit of drama and intrigue, and perhaps some comic relief. Hence the title of this week's chapter shall be, "A Return to Charleston... whereupon the leading characters ride a runaway carriage, stroll along the Battery promenade during a tropical tempest, feast on she crab soup while whistling Dixie, shop for pineapple-shaped chocolates at the Market, collect sea shells by the sea shore (even after getting swamped by a salty rogue wave), fish in backwater creeks among cypress knees for stumpknockers, and dance the Charleston while wearing silly feathered hats." P.S. Please note that Doug's Photo Blog may be a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, yaks and incidents could be the product of my imagination or a condition of delirium brought on by eating too much she crab soup. Any resemblance to actual persons, events, yaks or locales are likely to be entirely a fluke. Thank you. Doug |
