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.

    Cool sculpture. It looks so much different in the day compared to night. I love the look more during the day.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first?
