camellias in the rain

 

Rain, rain, rain.....

Howdy Y'all!---Let's just grab our umbrellas!

.......and go searching for the camellias and other pretty flowers that are in full bloom today.

 it's a beautiful rainy day, lets go for a walk! Is it ok with you if little Tracie joins us? She's excited to go walking in the rain!

you can't see it too well, but that is my new pin, it's a huge sparkly colorful butterfly, LOL!

water water everywhere, even on the street sign, ha ha ha LOL!

There's some lovely bright pink ones right over there!

Here we are standing in front of the Daniel Huger house. It was built in 1760 out of good strong bricks, but they later put stucco over the bricks after the big earthquake of 1886.

They think it was built for Elizabeth Izard, as a wedding gift from her grandfather, Captain John Bull.

 It's a Georgian style, three stories tall and with triple piazzas, perfect for breezy summer days, and was inherited by Daniel Eliott Huger, from his uncle, in 1818. It has remained in the Huger family ever since.

Tracie spots a whole bush of flowers right over here

gorgeous scarlet blossoms!

.....and so many buds waiting to burst out as well.

and on we go...........

We stop to look at these bright cyclamen!

I think Tracie likes this pink house!!

It matches these cotton candy pink camellias.

glistening pathways

Tracie points and says "I see something pretty over that way!"

She has found a pretty mandevilla flower, I believe it is?

well, Tracie is getting a little chilly.........so time to get back inside and have supper! Meat loaf tonight!

I hope y'all enjoyed getting outside today and getting some nice fresh AIR!!! and enjoying those pretty rain-washed blooms with us!
