Phlox paniculata: David

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD?

who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?"

This lovely phlox has the most intoxicating scent!  Can you smell it through the photo?

Trip to Savannah, Georgia

A cute kitty watching us pass on the street. 

Beautiful clipped clinging vine. 

Stairway to front entry. 

Fernlife 

We stayed here on West Jackson.  Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House, the dining room is on the ground floor of our building.  It's open daily from 11-2.  You can see the people lined up to get in before it opens. 

The food at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House is classic Southern style.  It was very, very good! 

 

We so enjoyed our stay in Savannah.  It is a city in which you walk.  No particular destination- just walk!

Impatien: Taken In Savannah, Georgia

Dave and I recently spent a few days in  the coastal city of Savannah, Georgia.  We stayed in the northern historic area of the city and delighted in going back in time, as far as our surroundings were concerned.  

Savannah was similar to Charleston, as far as climate and vegetation goes.  But it has its own identity and has its own unique history and style.

"For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling....?"

I'll be posting a few more pictures of our trip.
