North Carolina in the Spring

I just got home from a trip to North Carolina and I wanted to share some of my photos.  The timing was great to see the azaleas (and a lot of other things) in bloom.  It was beautiful!

This is the Sarah P. Duke Gardens on the campus of Duke University in Durham, NC:

This is Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, NC:

My cousin and I also took a day trip to Charleston, SC. These cool critters were at the Magnolia Plantation, either along the river or in the Audubon Swamp:

This guy was hanging out at the Peacock Cafe (no joke!) on the plantation:
