A Holiday in Savannah

About a week before Christmas we visited lovely Savannah.

The bridge into Savannah:

Image

A beautiful blue-sky day!
Image

Image

Image

Image

This tree is just amazing!!
Image

Image
Savannah has some amazing historic churches and temples
Image

Image
and they really are not leaning like the Tower of Pisa...I just had my camera crooked! LOL
Image

Beautiful big old live oaks drizzled with spanish moss:
Image

The old white cast iron fountain in Forsyth Park. It was put here in 1858.

Image
We came upon a wedding:
Image

A pretty place to get married!
Image

the petals from the ceremony:
Image

Our girls enjoyed their scenic ride to Savannah....but were also so glad to get out and explore the paths in the park! And all the sights! And the SMELLS!!
Image

Tammie and I enjoying walking around the pretty fountain:

Image

The lovely park surrounding the fountain is 30 acres big. 
Image

Image

The fountain all decorated for the holidays:

Savannah is set on 24 little "parks" or squares. The city is full of lovely historical homes and sights. I sure enjoyed a peek at all the beautiful old homes.
Image

Image

the back of a townhouse:
Image
Some kind of ivy or greenery growing all over this house!
Image

Image
Sweet little kitty came galloping up and meowing at me......I think I am just a cat magnet! LOL Doesn't he have a royal lion-like face?
Image


Image

Image

Image
Love this shade of blue for a house!
Image

Image

My favorite street in Savannah:
Image

Image


I loved this door!!
Image

Image

Love all the ornamental iron work on the banisters and posts, it's amazing!
Image

Image

Image
Check out the tenacious greenery growing right out of the concrete cracks around this doorway!
Image

Image
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Apartments even in the very top of tall buildings. Many stairs to climb!
Image

Image

Image
Aren't these windows beautiful?
Image

So much amazing architecture...enough to keep me busy for a long time. The city seems to be very much like our Charleston. 
Image
Image
Love this old red brick and the arches!
Image
and the built in breezy balconies! Not sure if this is a business building, apartments,  or condos.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Around the city, lights are coming on.
Image

Image
People settling in for the winter night....perhaps wrapping presents, watching t/v, reading a good long book they've been eager to get to.
Image
(above) the glow in a big bay window looks so homey doesn't it?
Image
Loved our time in Savannah! Hope to return!
