Let the Tours Begin

2013 Festival of Houses and Gardens Cover Image



It is time for the Historic Charleston Foundation's Festival of Houses and Gardens to begin. Spring is in full swing here. Visitors will enjoy strolls through a city blooming with color, with tours of a variety of historic homes and gardens.

One of my stock images is the cover shot for the Festival brochure. The brochure was designed by Lee Helmer Design.

The rest of the week I will post more images of Charleston in the springtime.
