and when we arrived a look came over her face... "Errr, the flowers weren't in bloom when I came," she admitted with some chagrin.
Of course I didn't say "See, you should always listen to me."
(I totally did say that :)

(On her very first date when she arrived in the Charleston area, she brought the boy here-- and shamed him into jumping onto this little island with her. She has a motto that goes something like "Don't take the paved path, walk on the grass, grab every adventure you can!"

It's really look like a garden of Heaven sir.

It is quite a heavenly garden ;)

More close ups of flowers and less arse please ;-) Just kidding, looks a lovely spot. I love azaleas.

There was quite a few zoe booty shots ;)

Just a few :-) But this nicely balances it back up.

Looks like a beautiful and colourful spot. Hope you and all the family are doing well my friend. I hear you've had some trials and tribulations with nature and what not. Glad to see you've still got your wonderfully positive outlook on life. :)

Tonyyyyy!!! Woot!!

Eh, life is always going to have trials and tribulations, we choose how to feel about them- I choose to see them as part of the adventure ;)

Love that your energy is back on here! xoxo
