I combine the work of both man and nature to express the setting of perhaps the most famous historic home in Charleston. The city rented this house for George Washington’s use during the first President’s weeklong Charleston stay in May, 1791. The formal garden of this home features the kind of plants that were here during Washington’s visit. I photographed this fountain at sunset. Golden light warms a cherubic stone figure as it rises from a bed of flowering plants, bearing a basin upon its head. The cherub is incongruously frowning. I contrast the worn stone figure to display the fresh foliage and flowers before it.
