Unfortunately I was very late getting to the Matthews Farmers Market today. Upon leaving I spotted this pretty plant growing randomly and wild alongside one of vendor stands near the entrance. such a pretty and delicate little thing

Beauty in My Backyard

I wanted to share the beautiful Lily's that are in full bloom in my backyard. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what type of flower the last picture is but it's just starting to bloom and is very pretty. Spring and early Summer are definitely my favorite times of year in the South. Please enjoy

A Walk Through Charleston SC

A very very quick trip to Charleston SC. 2 blocks was all I was able to see but I am still happy with the images I captured.

Saturday Morning at the Matthews Farmers Market

On Sunday I had a very special opportunity to photograph a group of rescued 2 week old foals at the Dream Equine Therapy Center in York SC. These foals were rescued from a Nurse Mare Farm in KY. If you are not familiar with the Nurse Mare industry, which I was not, I will give you a brief overview. In the horse racing industry, there is a sub industry called the Nurse Mares. Mares are bred specifically for their milk production. A Mare is bred. The moment she gives birth she is taken away from her baby and given to a more valuable racing horse for them to feed off of. Her baby is abandoned and sometime left to die. The Dream Equine Therapy Center is a group that rescues these foals, cares for them and works diligently to find forever homes for them. My images were donated to the group for use on there Adoption Page in hopes of finding the foals a new home.
