Trip to Charleston, South Carolina

Recently went on a trip to Charleston, SC and had a blast. The architecture is varied and beautiful. Many buildings are painted in vivid pastel colors. I was so impressed with the ornate ironwork that was everywhere. There was lots to see and I had fun taking photos.

I also noticed many beautiful signs for businesses like the art deco sign shown above. And the door detail next to it is another example of the beautiful ironwork.

This building (above) reminds me of the buildings in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

A lovely romanesque-style church.

Charleston is filled with flowers and plants that add to the vibrant color of the city. We snuck a peek at many lovely private gardens. I particularly liked this flower box with the bright green colors, some gold & red leaves, vivid purple flowers, and bunch of little deep red peppers on the left. A nice combination of colors and textures.

This is the most hilarious pumpkin I've ever seen. I wish I could say that I carved it, but it was some clever person from Charleston.
