Wood Nymph in the window

Wood Nymph miniature statue, Charleston, SC   

Until I spotted the familiar statue of the wood nymph from Middleton Gardens in the window of the Historic Charleston Foundation shop on Meeting St. I had forgotten that there were miniatures made. How sweet she is! I always visit her if I am at the gardens and have an enlargement in my living room.

This shot of the original is from a couple of years ago but it must look the same now with the gardens in bloom.

Middleton Place, Charleston, S.C.

Clearly my rowing machine work-outs have toned up my butt but worn my arms off. Heheh.

Lucky me! A friend offered to leave passes for me at the gates to Middleton Place and I was able to treat a couple of hard working co-workers as a reward.  We enjoyed a late lunch at the restaurant and enjoyed everything on the southern buffet. The blossoms were past their prime but the garden was lush and green.
