Number 8 10 A Gem that Sparkles We always wish ourselves a sunny Kiawah day when guests are scheduled to arrive. The Island really shows itself off then. This show can be witnessed in a variety of ways. Perhaps it’s how the shadows are cast through the palmettos and live oaks. Maybe it’s when the light at dusk illuminates the ambers. Maybe it’s spartina-filled winter marsh. Maybe it’s how the warmth brings out visiting butterflies and other wildlife. Kiawah is a gem that sparkles and we are very fortunate to call it our home. - Lowell Rausch 11
