I’m certain he knew I was there. He pretty much gave me ‘that look’.
The bird actually let me move back, and around him to get a better shot.
How often does that happen !

Young Great Blue Heron
I spotted this Heron near the Ashley River, in an old rice field.
The coloring and feathers led me to believe this is a first year bird.
There are no long chest feathers, even outside mating season there are still a few. Also the head feathers look very short and smooth.
A guess, this is a bird from down river where there is a Heron rookery.
Cabins / Tents
In keeping with the biblical design and purpose these are referred to as tents. The revival design was 99 tents surrounding a tabernacle, as laid out in the bible.
The meetings were started in this location in 1848 and are held yearly. In 1848 cabins were built.

There Are Some That Get Their Way, No Questions Asked
Not the biggest, or even aggressive.

Slow Day, Alligator
Some days it’s like being in the old TV series ‘Wild Kingdom’, others days not so much.
This was a not so much… but he saved the day.
Look Down Once In A While, Alligator
Most of the time when out we are looking up, or at least out in the distance.
If you don’t look down once at times you will miss the shot.
In the image below you can see just how close he was to the waters edge.
It’s always surprising how many times we still walk by things and completely miss them.
This would be one of them. It’s not like he was going to call out to me.
Still Growing In The Swamps
Late October and still growing in the swamps.
Strange Critters
Nine-banded Armadillo, one very odd critter.
