Artist Extraordinaire!

We have a favorite local artist, Mac Rogers, who has a gift for capturing the beauty of Beaufort on canvas.
He is currently the featured artist at our local art association.
The above painting is of 'Secession House' here in town.
The gentlemen pictured are the individuals who met at the house on December 20, 1860 just before they headed for Charleston to sign the secession papers.

The above painting is of the 'Planter' gunship on the morning it was commendeered by Robert Smalls during the civil war.
He escaped to Union territory with the ship and then joined the Union in the fight against the Confederacy.

This painting is the marsh overlooking the Beaufort skyline.

Needless to say Mac has a gift for capturing the beauty of the Lowcountry.

Beautiful Beaufort

As part of Beaufort's tricentennial celebration I thought I would share some of the amazing things that make Beaufort one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The architecture...
the sunsets...
the flowers...
the moonlight...
the churches...
waterfront park...
the history...
downtown...
the graveyards...
and the natural beauty.
What can I say, Beaufort is beautiful!

Happy Birthday Beaufort!

Beaufort is 300 years old today!
Beaufort has flown beneath 7 flags to include Enlgish, Spanish, French, Scottish, American, Confederate, and South Carolina.
The Hallelujah Singers kicked off the tricentennial celebration.
As the sun set amongst Palmetto trees...
sending golden rays across the bay...
fireworks lit up the evening sky.
Happy Birthday Beaufort!
