Maybe twenty (or more) napping in the sun. And some on the far side by a dike, a few smaller locals swimming too. If you don’t have some size best to stay in the water here.
Best viewed large.
This may not have been the biggest grouping. Ellen and I walked down a dike and counted approximately fifty. We did get some photos of them also but they were closer and I didn’t have a wide lens with me.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
That’s a glorious sight!!!
Oh yes !! And there were maybe 3-4 more spits of land like this along the other sides of the dikes. Water has been high for so long I forgot what this was like. Walking the dike was an adventure LOL. Looking down and watching for a wet trail as much as photographing. Don’t want to get stuck out there with them climbing over the dike behind us.
Oh, my! You and Ellen are very brave.
We bumped into another photographer and he was laughing at how Ellen just parted the tall grass and headed down a dike. 😂
Sounds like she has some spunkiness. 🙂
Gotta love a Maine farm girl…🥰.
because they all got eaten, maybe? 🙂
😂😂. There were several other spots of land and small islands here that were covered also. It’s an amazing thing to be there among them like this. Scenes like this don’t happen often, or many places anywhere in the world. Conservation needs a win like this.
