Wandering Around

There are numerous sections in this old cemetery area. If just wandering you can pass through Magnolia, enter Soldiers Ground, next the local Catholic graveyard and back into the old Umbra plantation house in Magnolia Cemetery. Across the road there must be ten AME cemeteries also.

I prefer the old Victorian designs, so I stay along the marsh banks.

Think I Can’t See Them, Alligator

I’m pretty sure they think I can’t see them. After all, they’re hiding.

If you are the biggest and badest one out there you don’t necessarily  need to be the smartest.

W. J. C. (1858)

I’m not really sure why, but the old nondescript headstones I find intrigue me. Most off to the side, on their own, their story long gone.

The least I can do is photograph them, give them some recognition.

Found On A Walk – Monochrome

This old cemetery has dirt tracks that run along side marshes, woods, and ponds. Sometimes there’s a plan on where to go, most often I just wander. No matter what it’s an incredible place to be with a camera.

Charleston, South Carolina, Salt Marsh

On the other side of this tree line is the Cooper River and Charleston Harbor.

The old Magnolia Cemetery winds through the marsh, above ground mausoleums on the edge of the water. Charleston is at sea level and all this could be washed away.

All this land was originally the Umbra  Plantation, a rice plantation until the US Civil War.

Night Time Moon Flower

As Ellen said this morning, “the gift that just keeps giving”.

This morning was the first time in months we had no Moon Flowers out back. I walked all around, even checked behind the pine it’s been climbing.

The good news is we have gotten warmer again and there are a few buds scattered around. I’ve shot so many flowers that lately I didn’t bother. I’ll check tonight/tomorrow though. Most likely the last (I’ve said that before though).

Even the old plastic fantastic came out to shoot a few.
