The above pictured images were taken during my recent trip with my wife to the Brookgreen Gardens to attend the N.S.S. 83rd Annual Awards Exhibition's closing reception and awards ceremony at which I was honored to be presented with the Pietro and Alfrieda Montana Memorial Prize.

 

Without a doubt the Brookgreen Gardens themselves are exceptional - a wonderland of natural beauty. Further, the collections of sculpture which they house are downright remarkable.

 

Many grateful thanks to each and every person both in the National Sculpture Society, as well as at the Brookgreen Gardens, for making the 83rd Annual Awards Exhibition a reality. My attendance was truly both a deep honor and a great pleasure.
