Allan Park

A spring outing to one of Charleston's little "pocket parks". Always fun. I love to hear the splashing of the water--so relaxing.

We love to see the fountains, no two are alike. And we love to toss pennies in and make wishes!
This is one of the smallest parks in our city, and back in the 1920s the fountain fell into bad disrepair and was full of nasty stagnant water. They finally filled it in with dirt. Later on,  the fountain was replaced in 2000, but it quit working. The city fixed it in 2004 and it now runs just fine and adds so much to this little park!

Pretty Blue Eyes here kept watch:

Little granddaughter loves to explore these places with Ma-Maw and Pa-Paw! She enjoyed herself...............

.................as did Tansy!!

(could've been her Ma-Maw? ha ha)

What are the parks like where you live?

A Charleston Garden

Springtime in a Charleston garden

A few beautiful scarlet camellias still blooming!

love the rusty bars on the windows of the house next door!

Love this big old tree! Just think of all the tales it could tell........

Pretty seashells from the near-by beach!

This home was built around 1770. I hope you enjoyed walking around the garden with  me!

Wisteria time

Headed out to see what's in bloom today. It didn't take long at all to find the beautiful wisteria!

they have a lovely yard! I love it!

beads today---seahorse pendant, seahorse charm and pearls

Fairies in the Springtime

Cameos and Seahorses, two of my favorite things!

Hmmmmmmmm, notice anything different in the picture below?

Yep, it sure is a fairy!

This little fairy found a quiet spot to read her book!

Night has fallen, let's hang up  our hats and go inside for the evening!
