Spring Blooms in Charleston

I cannot imagine there is a more beautiful city than Charleston in Springtime! The season has come early this year, and Charleston is awash in colors of pink, rose, blue, yellow.

I have been roaming Charleston’s streets in awe of the beauty of this season. One of my favorite places has been Washington Park with its spectacular azaleas, Peppermint Peach tree blooming with its two color blossoms, and the gorgeous Fringe Tree blooms.

Walking the streets of Charleston reveals beauty and rich color on every block.

Of course there is no place like Magnolia Gardens in the spring!  In late March I took a flower photography class with Kathleen Clemmons and Donna Eaton and was once again startled by the sheer beauty of the place. Here are a few of my photos:
