This spot was so beautiful - on the Atlantic side just North of Myrtle Beach, Brookgreen Gardens is full of History back to 1800's. We found out about this place on the last day of our holiday in 2011 - if I'd known sooner I would have been there at least 3 days - you almost need that to take it all in. There is a Butterfly House but was not open in November. There are tours of the grounds which are too much to walk by foot. There is a Lowland Plantations area that has the original Plantation House, Cemetery, History here going back to the days of the slaves. We did not see it all. The Live Oak Alee is so full of these amazing and enormous trees - I've never seen anything like it. Take the time to look up Brookgreen Gardens. I hope the latest Hurricane did not damage too much. The day we were there they were busy putting up all the Christmas Lights for the Holiday Season. From November 25th to January 1st they Celebrate the Nights of A Thousand Lights - thousands of hand lit candles. New Years Celebrations here I've heard are a spectacular sight. Next time I hope we go earlier in the year to see all the flowers in bloom. I only found a few Lotus, Lilies and Gardenia's that late in November. (you would love it there Melissa!!)

Gail, this is gorgeous! I love the way the pole on the right of the photo, just left of the two trees reveals a woman in the reflection on the water. Truly a tranquil place.
