We have reached that point… mornings of 95% humidity. Take that with rising temperatures and you think twice before charging out the door. (If you’re the charging type of person)

Thankfully the tall pines behinds us bring in lots of birds, the bushes small critters, so we have entertainment all around. We try to keep cameras on the porch. They need to be around outside temperatures to prevent instant foggy lens from the humidity.

Below is a baby Tree Frog in one of the many pots all around the back. Ellen keeps many pots since the ground is hard and sucks in water. We can have 2-3 inches of rain in a normal storm, this ground is what keeps the Lowcountry from becoming the Nocountry, floating away.

The Anoles (lizards) are strewn across open spots on the fences and arbors. They will lay there posing for the camera, or instantly disappear. This guy was warm and comfortably out of my reach so he kept sun bathing.

So far I have resisted getting a macro lens. Ellen has one a 90mm macro prime I might ‘borrow’. I think I prefer a mid-size zoom when poking around in the vines and bushes. Either the OM 12-100 or 12-200 will give me better options since I don’t bend or climb around like the past. Besides, this is South Carolina and random poking finds unexpected things at times. I’ll let the camera do the work.
