Race St and Church St, Old Salem

Well, this has been a long time coming! Back at the very beginning of March, I was able to go out with Martie, my mom, for the first time in a while. I actually felt like going out, which was strange. We stopped by a couple of different places and found some nice images. Unfortunately, the very next day started a months-long journey in the hospital, and I am still fighting to get back to my normal.

Anyways, over the past several weeks, I have been able to work on and finally finish my images that I took. These images were taken at the Bog Garden behind Friendly Center and the Mendenhall office park just off 68 in High Point.

Enjoy!
