Magnolia Gardens

During a recent visit to Charleston, SC, we visited the beautiful Magnolia Gardens.  While the gardens were not at their peak, they were certainly beautiful nonetheless.

 The bamboo garden, white bridge, pink azalea and cypress trees make quite a contrast
 while the fruit trees present their contrast against the beautiful blue sky
 This garden has lots of bridges and it was impossible to get a shot of them without people crossing over
 although I almost got this one.
 The ponies and burro didn't mind posing for photos
 and the formosa azaleas (in all colors) seemed to love being the focus point
This little turtle sunning by one of the ponds was snapping away at those pesky no-seeums

and this big boy just seems to smile at the visitors.
