Double secret probation bird's eye view of a garden on Meeting Street.
I imagine this is the what the Tall One might have seen (had he stirred himself from bed, early one morning during our Charleston trip) strolling up Meeting Street. Once again it was just me and the gardeners and a few people scurrying off to their jobs. It was too early for the horse drawn carriages and rubber-neckers, so I found lots of almost-legal places to park as I wandered. Two Meeting Street has architecture that challenges my liberal arts college art history training. The Calhoun House has a gravity defying Mercury statue in the side garden. And I thank the good people at Canon for this view, because it was not what I could see from the sidewalk. I poked the camera up over the wall and snapped away, finding this lovely little formal garden, shimmering in the early sunlight. The birds are lucky on Meeting Street.
