Elizabethan gardens

Spanish Moss. Flame azaleas. Bubbling fountains. Gazebo by the bay. Perfume jasmine. Sighing wind in live oak trees. Birds. Birds. Birds. Stopping to capture what I can.

Boots. Hatteras hat. Sketchbook.

Gazebo. Sixteenth century replica. Reeds for thatched roof came from England.

Slowly lapping water bird twitter. A rush of wind in the magnolia trees.

Strolling at dusk in all white organdy and hat with veil. Around the bend mint Julips waiting in iced silver tumblers. A cello somewhere playing Mozart. Moss underfoot and fallen camellia blossoms

Cinnamon Fern.

Ancient live oak alive since1585 when colonists first arrived on Roanoke Island.

A white wedding I'll have under the oak with swaying Spanish moss and camellia blossoms under my feet
