Charleston, South Carolina, USA

It may still be February but that doesn't stop the cherry trees from blossoming along Meeting Street in downtown Charleston. Charleston is the oldest city in South Carolina dating from the late 1600's and receives many accolades for its charm.

White Point Gardens at the Battery.

Decorative iron work is commonplace - the horse drawn carriages not so common.

White Point Gardens.

One of the old mansions with curved windows.

An inviting alleyway between two houses.

Street view along East Bay.

The tourist's eye view of a backyard garden.

Another private alleyway between houses.

A city that embeds street names in bronze on the corner is clearly a city that doesn't get snow in the winter.

Green grass in February? Yep.

And of course the city lawyers always get their say - but at least they don't get to say "no wading" like most cities probably would.  The sign seems a bit tongue-in-cheek - I hope that was the intent.
