My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

The value of a work of art increases with its rarity. By that standard the breathtaking azaleas that explode in color for a brief period each spring are the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s most valuable flower. Patricia Anderson looks over the beautiful azaleas in front of Bliss in downtown Ocean Springs. Carol Gautier opened the “unique boutique” on Washington Avenue in late 2001 and boasts the brightest azaleas in the downtown area. More importantly, according to her employee Patricia, Carol’s personal beauty continues year around, touching the many lives that pass through her popular store.
