Photographic Journal: Azalea Walk

The azaleas are currently at the height of their blooming season in our area.  Lovers, artists, and photographers alike flock to the gardens for romantic strolls and inspiration. Pair the blaze of colors with the setting sun and your are in for an enchanting evening.

Photographic Journal: Mary

This weathered Mary statue has to be one of the simplest and, therefore, most beautiful I have come across. I found it in the biblical herb garden at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC. It radiates such grace, peace, innocence, and compassion that it is infectious.
