But they do have ridges.   Spring up all over the yard are a variety of mushrooms. This one has a bright orange top that was full of water. I took a few from above but didn't like how they looked in the end. I ended have three from the side like this. I think this one is my favorite but I am not 100% positive.

 

why not?  

While watering I saw this butterfly hanging out on the ground.   It is always so amazing all the colors and textures butterflies have... ...and how hard it is for me to capture them.

Last one from SC.   This was a pretty little park outside of Charelston called Cypress Gardens. We took a boat trip around to see the scenery and alligators.

Charleston being a seaside town to get anywhere outside there was a good chance you would go over a bridge.   I was driving so I asked my wife to take some pictures of this tower and support cables.

Walking Around Charleston SC we saw some beautiful buildings on the tree-lined streets. Charleston was a beautiful city to walk and look. Wasn't the best town for a family with a small child. Seems like shopping, eating and drinking are the main past times in this town. We did have fun but wouldn't go back under the same situation. We also visited the Angle Tree. This is a prized item for the people at this park. Unfortunately not all the visitors felt the same way. There were too many people to get a nice wide "artsy" shot of this sprawling tree. This one doesn't do it justice.

 Posting in this blog and the trip where these photos was also a long time coming. The reason it has taken me so long to post, besides just being busy, was I wanted to edit the photos in lightroom. When Lightroom first came out I got the trial version and tested it out. I had been using Photoshop for so long I usually resorted back to PS. So recently I decided that I wanted to edit some photos for this blog in Lightroom and see how they came out. Before I could process them my computer crashed and Lightroom was gone. The computer has been replaced and I had a little bit of time so here are my first attempts at processing in Lightroom again. These photos are from a trip my family I took to South Carolina. These particular photos are from an Airbnb outside of Charleston SC. It was a great place to stay! more to come... Airbnb link
