Kiawah Island: Seasons in the Sun Looking Forward to Naturally Kiawah Volume 33 Photographs courtesy of Pamela Cohen A year ago when we solicited input for our issue on your “101 Things We Love about Kiawah,” Tina Schell submitted a wonderful description of how the Island changes through the seasons. Her article inspired the theme for our next issue – the four seasons on Kiawah Island. Many of us chose Kiawah to escape the chill of winter in northern regions. Most of the time we remain happy with that decision, except, perhaps, for a few memorable days in February once in a while when we spent our days sliding around on ice and wondering what to do with the black, dripping plants that dot our gardens. Luckily for us, those days are few and far between. What is special about Kiawah, however, is that in addition to enjoying fairly temperate winters, we still have the pleasure of seasons – sparkling spring days where everything begins to bloom and our favorite songbirds return; bright summertime afternoons with a sun that never quits but a gentle rain brings a little welcome relief without ruining the day; long, slow moving fall days where the warmth of the summer sun lingers; shorter winter mornings when we can usually still manage a leisurely walk on the beach. We want to share your photos, articles, memories and favorite times of the seasons that you enjoy on Kiawah.
