I would like to thank everyone for all of your generous comments throughout this month. I, too, have been totally blown away by everyone's contributions this month. Thank you Cindi for suggesting the topic. This challenge, by far, has had the most participation of any that I have seen in my few years on PBase.
I must admit that I had not originally intended this series for this month's challenge, but was inspired to continue through your kind words. I would encourage anyone who has the chance to visit the low country of South Carolina to make a day of Brookgreen Gardens. It is a truly inspirational place. You can visit them on-line at

So I leave you with my final image for the month. This is the Brookgreen Gardens' signature piece, sculpted by founder and benefactor Anna Hyatt Huntington. Fighting Stallions graces the entrance to Brookgreen.
