We decided to cross over into Columbia, SC and went to the Columbia Canal Park for our weekend adventure. We walked the full length - down and back - 6 miles total. WHEW! But SO worth it!
The iron work was beautiful! From the fence rails to the lamp posts to the sculptures.....
I love architectural elements! Details, details, details!
The Arena area waiting for a Performer and an Audience with none other than Christopher Columbus looking over it all.
This was the MOST AMAZING sculpture! I just loved it from this distance but then we took a closer look.....
Ready for a game of "Eye Spy with my Little Eye?"
What all do you see on this side?
How about this side?
We could keep a child or two busy looking for objects in the blocks for I'm thinking close to an hour.

| Egret |
The walkway was wonderful and we enjoyed watching the Spanish Moss blowing in the breeze. There were Egrets all along the walk and this one was quite close to us.

| Dragonfly |
I loved this blue gray dragon fly... it's all about the "little" things to me - always has been. My favorite toys were miniatures.

This lovely old bridge is being torn down and I know that these lovely rails will be replaced with something flat with no character whats so over.
The view of the locks just before we reached them. This was our turning around point. But make sure you come back later to see the view we had to behold once we reached them!
Those pictures at beautiful. Your description made me feel as if I were there with you taking the walk. Thanks for sharing.
