During my recent trip down south, I was fortunate to spend a day walking around Charleston. Although I had visited Charleston as a college student, I was eager to see the city again through a new perspective. Instead of taking a guided tour, I decided to explore on my own. I made a stop at the Calhoun Mansion (pictured below), the largest privately owned house in the city. There is a fee for entering the house, but admission is free to the fantastic gardens leading to the museum shop around back. The gift shop clerk was helpful in steering me down several alleys not typically travelled by tourists. 
As someone who loves details, Charleston was the perfect place for me. 
Notice how the ivy has been clipped around the windows and the small door underneath this staircase.
If only I could have seen what was behind these wonderful doors!
Loved this beautiful greenhouse. I don't know any flowers who wouldn't be happy living here.
Of course, no visit to Charleston would be complete without pictures of beautiful houses.
We lived there fore a long time and are now buying ahoem to move back, we are so thrilled. And I think you and I photo the same things! Glad it was great and it was a lovely revisit for me!
ReplyDeleteI went to Charleston for the first time this past spring. I have a picture of the same greenhouse on my blog. Love it!
