While we are preparing for Hurricane Hanna....

While we here in Charleston are preparing for Hurrican Hanna to come tomorrow Friday, making landfall at the Coast of the Carolinas, I'll leave you here with some nice photos from a pretty park in Summerville, SC.


This park is way more beautiful in spring time when everywhere the Azaleas are blooming. That's why has this park also the name "Azalea Park".


There are little ponds with cute sculptures, like this frog.


I love frogs! Should I kiss him now...? :-)


Or this pretty sculpture of the girl with a bird in her hand....


The girl sculpture is overlooking the park area and in the little pond here I have seen many gold fishes swimming around


The bench and the dog - there is a story behind that dog, you can read it on the website link below


Today, Azalea Park features butterfly ponds, an amphitheater,
ornamental bridges, a water garden, artistic
sculptures and gazebos. The Cuthbert Community
Center, built in 1975 and named for former Mayor
Cuthbert, stands in the center of the park. The park
and the mini-gardens within it are usually at their peak
of beauty during the Flowertown Festival

Azalea Park is also the site of the Flowertown Festival, held annually on the first week of April. This event, which features arts & crafts, food, entertainment, rides and commercial booths, draws approximately 300,000 to Summerville.
