thBrookgreen Garden Night of a Thousand Candles

I have wanted to go to this event since the first time I heard about it years ago, and conveniently enough it was still going on when we headed to Murrells Inlet earlier this month to celebrate Boo’s 60th birthday. It was as beautiful as I always knew it would be. Here are a couple of pictures. I took both of these when we first arrived, before it was completely dark, but it was still just beautiful. All of those candles floating in the pond are real – no batteries. Volunteers light them every day before the park opens. And there are 25,000 strands of lights hanging in the trees around the gardens. Just amazing.
