28 April Brookgreen Gardens

Brookgreen Gardens a visit to the park takes all day. We see a lot of snakes not so nice at all. Everytime when it rustle in the bushes my heart jumps. I really hate snakes...


Brookgreen Gardens, the first public sculpture garden in America, has in its collection more than 1,200 works by 350 sculptors. It´s reallly a joy to stroll along.

My friend takes a photo of the snakes but I stick to the gators instead.


They can run faster than a horse...something I learn on our trip. Wonder how fast a snake can crawl...

I think I stick to the marvelous live oaks instead.

27 April Boone hall plantation

We contiune our journey with a trip to Boone hall plantation


The only slave street left in the States.
Boone Hall is today one of America's oldest working, living plantations.
This plantation was the settings for North and South- my favourite Tv series, The notebook- movie, Days of our lives - tv series...I recognize the settings from North and South with Patrick Swayze and James Reed.


Live oak trees with spanish moss

Spanish moss - airplants - member of the pineapple family. You can only see it here in the South. The plant is not parasitic, it can sometimes damage the host tree by over-shading the leaves, thus reducing photosynthesis, or by weighing down and breaking the branches. Other than that it´s harmless for the tree. I think it gives the tree a romantic ghostly aura.
