Marsh Scene

Once a series of plantation rice fields, now open marshlands.

ACE Basin, South Carolina.

One of those random grabs because he made it so easy.

As usual they pretty much ignored each other.

It’s much easier for both to catch a small fish.

The fall colors and shades are starting to show out here.

Red and orange leaves are not around here, but the new browns and greens make up for it.

Depending on where we leave the car I try to look all around before walking any distance. With age comes wisdom… and aging body parts.

Here I found no birds in trees, or flying. Two ‘heads bobbing around’ was about it.

I went another direction and found Spoonbills instead.

Note; way off in the background there were some Blue-winged Teals. They never come any closer out here so I ignored them.

At the right angle, if you lean out a little, you can see down the side of the bank.

Most times I just look out over open water for birds. This time I looked down.

This is actually two different Alligators. One closer to the edge than the other.

I leaned over a log from a trail to see what might be a bird moving.

Hmmm, no bird.

I had seen movement, there is duck weed piled up on the tip of his nose. My eyes still work. LOL

As we walk around and shoot different spots I make a habit of just grabbing a quick ‘gator’ photograph.

Even a basic snap shot type can prove interesting. How many places can you randomly catch this.

This one is midsize, maybe 7 feet (2 meters).
