WW: Pegasus Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Day Pegasus Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Night Pegasus Statue at Brookgreen Gardens


"I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
And witch the world with noble horsemanship."
- Henry IV, Part 1 by Shakespeare

I couldn't decide what picture of "Pegasus" sculpture by Laura Gardin Fraser captured its epic beauty better, so I'm sharing them both! Stroll through more of my Brookgreen Gardens photos - they'll make you want to visit South Carolina, I'm sure.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.
