Magnolia Plantation Lilacs

Walking around Magnolia Plantation is a step back in time.  The trails and gardens look much like they did hundreds of years ago.  The fragrance is captivating and lingering along these paths is a pleasure.  If you are interested in this antiqued image, please click HERE.  Thank you.

Magnolia Plantation Statue

I hope to visit Charleston, SC every year for the rest of my life.  I understand it has much history that relied on slavery, and that institution was horrible.  But there is a wonderful beauty there that seeps into my soul and truly relaxes and inspires me.  The above statue is weathered and worn and I antiqued it to lend a bit more of the old world feel to her - of which I feel she had plenty of to begin with.

Summer Beauty

I have a longing for color!  The trees here in NC are bare and everything is drab.  In the north, we would have a fresh blanket of snow on the ground by now creating a splendid unifying brightness.   I used to love the reflected light that would dance around the inside of my house - the drapes pulled back to allow as much as wanted to come in.  But here in NC, everything is so dull - the air is crisp and refreshing, but I have to get used to this "new" climate.  If you are interested in images of the above, please click HERE.  Thank you.
