South Carolina Time Warps
There are occasions when time seems to slow to a crawl.
Recently, in Charleston, time broadened and deepened to all SMID and I the opportunity just to be.
It felt as though the universe was allowing us all the time in the world to go here, see that, take thousand photographs (literally) and still have the luxury of sitting in a swank lounge, sipping Mint Juleps.
There were very few things on our must-do list that we didn't get to, plus many others we weren't planning on. At times, when we needed something - like the right place to have a bite to eat when we had planned that exactingly - it simply appeared. Like the fabulous rooftop bar at the Market Pavillion Hotel on our first night in town.
We spent what seemed like half a day in the Unitarian Universalist Cemetery...only to walk out and discover, much like leaving Narnia, that no time had passed at all. Seemingly.
Sadly, now that we are back in the real world, time has sped back up - and in some ways, it seems to be going even fast than before SC, in the sole attempt to make up for those blessed few days.
Please, let's do the Time Warp again.

Your photographs are simply stunning, as usual. I've wanted to have time to really peruse them on fb, but my own time has been at warpspeed this week. I'm so glad you both had such a lovely time!
It was a timewarp. It seemed like hours were passing - not in a painful when will this end sense but in a gee we're doing so much - and when we checked the time it had barely been an hour. We did so much of so little.
It was wonderful. When are we going back?
