A Little Garden of Delights

Every once in awhile, we drop into "little gardens of earthly delight," places we could linger, stay awhile and bask in. Such was a very special garden shop in Hilton Head, SC. A place of pure heaven, all tossed up with Halloween finery. 


There was no way I could take these photographs and not share with you. The care and artistic touch of the gardeners combined with color, texture and atmosphere just begged to be shown off.    


No commentary is necessary....just enjoy the moment and bask in the beauty of a tiny patch of land, far from home.

Here lounges the real force behind this garden paradise....the PRINCESS. She kept her apple green eyes on us the whole time we wandered around. 


IDEA: these wonderful ceramic pumpkins have oodles of designs we could all incorporate onto our own pumpkins. Wash pumpkin with water and tiny bit of soap. Dry thoroughly. Spread out papers to put pumpkin on. Paint with acrylics. If the first coat isn't bright enough, let paint dry then repeat. Could even spray with a little varnish to make nice and shiny.

Keep your cameras DRY and BUSY...such an exquisite time of year to be taking pictures.  Until next visit....Sharon

Big Mama Where Have You Been?

 Perhaps you have noticed that 

Big Mama

has been absent for a few days.  

She has been on a photographic journey.

Can you guess where she has been the last seven days?

Wish the grand-kiddies held this still for pictures!!!

Skies are magnificent everywhere. They are heaven's roadmaps.

The days held hazy, lazy clouds, which provides  POP for COLOR.

Big Mama wanted to ride the red canoe, but feared toppling into the water and ruining a gazillion photos! Stay dry and sand free was  her motto.

Hmm she must have taken for a stroll....watch out for flying seagulls.

Ah, here she is....taking in a wave or two, in the softly shifting ripples at low tide.

What isn't mesmerizing about WATER, anywhere, any place, any time.
