A place I have seen and photographed hundreds of times. If you visit this web site you too have seen it. (Click here to view a recent shot).

I don’t remember ever taking a photograph of that spot from one of the dikes.

Above was taken as I walked down the side of this marsh, actually it was a remote plantation rice field a few hundred years ago.

The island has a single (and shaky) dead tree. Here it is filled with Roseate Spoonbills and a Great Blue Heron. Another Heron is fishing in the shallows, and what  you can’t see is the scores Alligators in the marsh grass.

Scenes like this just reinforce how beautiful the Lowcountry wild lands are.
