I’ve photographed this statue before, once amid a sea of blooming azaleas: Waiting In Solitude.
I always glance over when I pass by and found I wasn’t the only one checking her out on this fall day.

Stony lady waits
All visitors are welcome
Her bench has a view
A troupe of five cherubs are nestled in one of the garden paths at Middleton Place.
You first see it down a straight shrub-lined path, which draws you in.
Last week when I was there some late Camellias were in bloom.
A closer look of the Cherubs; it looks like the statue has recently been cleaned, which rather highlights their imperfections.
Years ago Ted called this statue “Freaky Babies” so of course that is what I think every time I pass it. He a nice B&W version from a visit in February which in a post he aptly named Freaky Babies.
The grounds around Magnolia Plantation and Gardens are dotted with decorative statues. Look close and you will see an alligator tail and a turtle to the right of this lady, sharing the view of the pond.
