A Secret Garden
This is a churchyard we love to walk around in.
I am always in awe of the workmanship and attention to detail in these old buildings, homes, and churches. They truly don't "build 'em like that anymore".
the church was built in 1787 and is the oldest Unitarian church in the South. I loved photographing the Gothic Revival style.
Gnarly old trees:
Peaceful paths lead past ancient crumbling stones......
and overgrown gardens show off vibrant blooms.
Lacey Spanish moss is so delicate and sways lightly in the spring breezes.
Trees canopy the paths and cause flickering shadows.
Underneath palm trees and magnolias, here is a quiet and peaceful place to sit awhile or enjoy a sack lunch.
Another Charleston churchyard...a very interesting and relaxing way to while away a spring afternoon...in a "secret garden".

ReplyDeleteYour photos are so nice. Love the architecture of the church.
ReplyDeleteI love walking the churchyards of Charleston. The gravestones tell so many stories. It is also good to be in the vertical position rather than the horizontal position like the residents.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gateway and flowers!

Beautiful garden and the church is gorgeous. I wish we had churches like that around here. All we have is the modern ones.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you caught photos of a white squirrel! He was really cute :)

I love taking these walks with you around this lovely city, seeing architectural details up close through your camera. It would be nice to sit on that bench and eat a sack lunch, and maybe talk with you! Fortunate woman to live where you do, and to appreciate it as you do.
ReplyDeleteWhat struck me most of all was the memorial to the "enslaved workers" who built their church. This was a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What an awesome church cemetery!!
ReplyDeleteYou take fantastic pictures and especially enjoy the walk through the cemetery!!
I have a family cemetery outside of Forsyth, GA (north of Macon) which is out in the middle of a cow pasture - they used concrete and seashells to cover the top of the graves of all the children buried in the cemetery!! I had never seen this before!!
Thank you for sharing!!
