This time change is really cramping my "favorite time of day" photo taking time! You know that time of day when the sun is setting and it turns everything a beautiful golden color and everything glows? Seeing the sunset on the city like that always reminds me of a day I spent in Bath, England. Most of the buildings I saw in Bath were made of this gorgeous honey-colored stone that just glowed in the sunlight! Every time I see the sunset and the glow on the city, I'm always reminded of the day I spent in Bath. So beautiful!
The other day after CupcakeCamp I told Robin that I wanted to go over to St. Francis Hospital (where I had my thyroidectomy) to check out the new meditation garden. My friend Joan of Charleston Daily Photo posted a blog entry with photos of the garden that she took on a recent foggy morning. So gorgeous! I just had to go see what it was all about! We headed over there and it was a race against the sun since it was around 5:30pm. I think we arrived just in time!
What a beautiful, peaceful spot! It's just another reason to love Charleston! (See the full set of photos HERE)

They are lovely! Isn't it a beautiful spot? You don't realize it until you are under those giant oaks. So peaceful. I will link to you photos when I get a chance. Thanks!
What a wonderful place for meditation. Those giant oaks are breathtaking, especially when draped with the spanish moss ... and the sun peeking through to say goodnight.
I would go there to meditate. Definitely.
@Joan - the oak that is split in the middle... do you know what happened to it to make it like that?
I think the garden is a wonderful place for people if they need a break while visiting a loved one in the hospital - especially in a terminal situation. I can't tell you how I wish I had something like this available when I went through situations like that. Waiting on a bench outside a hospital ER to get some fresh air just isn't the same as this gorgeous place!
I love that tree. I don't know what happened to it. One morning when I walked by there were crutches laying on the ground next to the tree and I tried to start the Legend of the Healing tree, imagining that it had been struck by lightening and had positive energy.
I would LOVE to put a cache there - it's too amazing not to see. Do you think the hospital would approve it if it's done respectfully? Who would I contact? I love the idea of the Legend of the Healing Tree! Didn't you post photos in your blog of them? How does someone forget their crutches? A mystery that will never be solved...
