The other day we found only one Spoonbill at this pond. But wow, he was really good looking.

So Very Southern
Tall Oaks, Cypress, Spanish Moss, and a long pond. Usually there is a ‘head’ floating here somewhere. Not today.
Found On A Walk, In A Swamp
A vine of some type, hanging out over the Duck Weed.
The pink surrounded by a muted green gave a very soft look to the plant. Living here though I’m sure that’s not the case.
Bump On A Log, Alligator
The trail curved here so I was able to get a few different angles, even a bit closer in spite of the swamp water.
While I was moving around taking photos he peeked out of a half open eye. He wasn’t impressed.
Great Blue Waiting To See What I Will Do
The swamp rookeries are pretty empty now. To find anything now it’s out to the marshes. That means walking, mud, and carrying minimal ‘stuff’. For me that means no big lens.
The good news was we found things other than Alligators. Thinking about it I noticed only one mid sized head all morning.
Great Blue Heron.
Where There’s A Will …
Found on a walk, old logs buried in a swamps Duck Weed but not giving up.
Wild flower seeds have sprouted and are doing just fine.
Morning Light And Spanish Moss
Live Oaks and Spanish Moss hanging over the Ashley River.
Alligator, Sepia
They always look to be so deep asleep.
