Backroads, S.C.


Kingstree, S.C.

I love this little scene. I took the picture on a drive through Kingstree, S.C. a few years ago. I made my patient driver circle the block so I could get the shot and behind the business we spotted the little cottage below that looked like the owner's home. Look at all the flowers!

The last time I passed that way it was hardly recognizable, dull and drab and not worth taking a picture. The person who had imprinted the property with their colorful personality and was clearly no longer in residence.

    A buried cottage - gorgeous...now I must ask - do you get orb spiders there?? With all that greenery I can image the webs, built to catch you at face height of a morning.

  3. It is great fun to find places like this, that have some color and character. Sad that is no longer the case.

    Lovely photograph and I can see why it would be one of your favorites!
