p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Found sun & swamp things (in SC Low Country)


A couple weeks ago I had the chance to get out of Western NY's grey, cold and snow. I headed to parts unknown (to me) and had a great week in South Carolina 'Low Country', between Myrtle Beach and Charleston. Having only a passing interest in the cities and being far more intrigued with the intercoastal ecosystem, I hunted around and soaked in as much of that area as I could. I would have loved to stay longer, but it was short and sweet and just the ticket to warm me up and (finally) point my gear at something besides frozen stuff. I might have to figure out a way to do this more often...

Crackin' shots...glad you got out of the cold and grey...now as the weather turns...green and warm should make the local fauna and flora shine.

Very nice set with 5 and 7 my picks. I can't understand why you would want to leave gray snow.

Thanks Eric. I hope you're right but we seem to be off to a slow start. Last week was mostly grey and cold and it looks like this one's going to be the same. Might have to plan my return trip sooner than later...

Thanks Ken. I actually didn't notice it until after I got home but I think there's a second alligator (I think these are 'gators; it was a freshwater marsh) in the background of the one on the log. It looks bigger to me than the hitchhiker in the other picture. I think those were some 'infested' waters, but I didn't go it to check it out!

Thanks Ron. I had a great week there. I found several State Wildlife Management Areas (one was converted rice plantation). Almost no one else there and abundant birds and other critters.

Wood storks were new for me; really enjoyed seeing them!

Thanks Morris. #5 was in some really harsh light. The fact that they had just come out of the water didn't help but...a few minutes later they were gone! Glad I got it when I did.

Thanks and good for you, George! I can definitely see the appeal ('though I see parts of the SC coast have severe t-storm predictions the next few days). Good luck with your move; no shortage of photo-ops!

OMG! That prothonotary just knocks my socks off. All of these are just as sharp as they can be. Makes being a swamp rat worth it, doesn't it?

Sue, I love being a swamp rat. Especially when there's no one else around! Thanks for the kudos; it was a fun week!
