This is the oh-so-famous moat behind me. I might have climbed over a fence to get so close to the water, but there are many more impressive things I would do for the sake of a photograph. This is the outside view of the moat; behind me in the second photograph you can see the taller stone wall that is part of the moat's fortifications (that's the wall with the sally ports). Inside of that is where my house is situated. You can walk along the top of the moat wall and get a more aerial view of things (which you can see in this post). So, with this post you've had nearly a 360 view of the moat (the moat from inside & above, from outside and beside, and even a few pictures in part of the moat wall).

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
Gorgeous dress, and the moat is the perfect place for it to be photographed!

Awake My Soul came on right as I started reading this post. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlso, love love love that dress!
I like how you see the limit/safety line, and you straddle it, and then eventually go over it, just to dangle your legs above the water. It just goes to tell your readers how adventurous and how connected you are to the water--there is no limit to your connection to natural things. I really adore that about you.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, nice outfit. (^_~)" Chou kawaii yo.

Hi Rebecca, Fantastic Outfit!! Thank you for the tour of the moat! Just curious is the moat part of a civil war, do you know when it was built? I am such a major history buff.
ReplyDeleteLove these photos, the moat is pretty impressive and you managed to get some lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThe dress and bag are really lovely as are those shoes, they look really comfy!
haha you're so badass. I would definitely fall in after ten minutes of posing around the moat =) You always have such lovely backgrounds in your pictures. That dress is really fun and interesting. It kind of reminds me of a court jester. Which I love!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, the moat pre-dates the civil war. The base itself was first fortified in 1609! But of course it has undergone many changes since then. The moat began construction in 1819 (I believe).
ReplyDeleteConfederate President Jefferson Davis was actually imprisoned here during the war...
I love that you live inside a moat.
ReplyDeletehaha... I love the moat! from every angle. Inspiring me to actually go scout out some new locations.
ReplyDeleteOh, that coat is really cool btw.
What a fun dress!!!

ReplyDeleteYour title is part of my most favorite lyric in the history of ever! I'm not sure if it was your goal, but the color balance in your photos are really pretty; it's like a gentle pink tint. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI like your style. :D
ReplyDeleteBut....but I think you should wear more "spring" colors! ;D I don't know but every time I look at you I think about autumn..:P But. maybe it is your style :D\

@Asia, Yeah, I just wear colors I like when the mood strikes me. I also don't believe in seasonal clothes/palette...I'll wear brights & pastels and what-have-you, but it will be when it fits my mood and not b/c it's spring.
ReplyDeleteThat coat is to die for. Cute dress too.
