Into the Wild (2 minutes from downtown)

We made it to Charleston yesterday afternoon to hang with our dearest friend Nate.

While I decided to take a nap, Lar and Nate took a quick trip over to Nature Island. Charleston is made up of a number of islands and places called islands that aren't really islands. It's all very confusing, but beautiful. 

Lar doing a little dance under some palm frawns.


Nate at home in the wild.


Greetings from Nature Island!

More Charleston photos on the way. . . we're heading off to the beach today.

    Nothing like a nice weekend getaway. I have an uncle that lives on James Island. I'm pretty sure it's a real island, but you're right, you never know around there...

    That jetty reminds me of Fantasy Island - "The plane! The plane!". I love trees that grow horizontally.

    I've passed the two of you some awards!

    Stunning, especially the first shot. Pretty much the opposite of my mental picture of charleston, (which was really fuzzy)

    It looks like it's straight out of a storybook! When I first read the title, I thought it said "Where the Wild Things Are" and I was excited at first that maybe that movie was out already haha.

    I love how this looks like a professional photo shoot! I love vacations in exotic (albeit US) locations!

    Bravo on that first shot! Great lighting.
