Swallows in traditional tattooing symbolize returning, they have famous migration patterns always returning to the San Juan Capistrano islands. Sailors who got this tattoo have logging 5000 miles. It also represents a way home if sailor dies at sea, the bird would bring his soul home.

Cresson's Garden Tour
This guy was really interesting his family had owned the property for generations and were all gardeners to some extent.... Charles however was the one taking it very seriously. It seems, his true love is Camellias. Asked him if he had someone to pass the property to after he was gone and he said he was hoping that his nephew would be the one, but he had no clear heir... sorta sad the property was amazing. 10-27-14
