If an Alligator could have an expression it would be this one.
A ‘dead pan’ face in the center of thick Duck Weed.
He has been there for a pretty long time too. If he swam through this he would leave a trail, like walking through snow. Also the Alligators back is completely dry, so he didn’t just pop up like the tend to do.
Floating around watching the world go by.
These were photographed at ‘Soldiers Ground’ a few days after Memorial Day.
There was just enough breeze for flags to slow move giving different looks as they unfurled. Basically shoot many images and decide which to keep later.
Because this is on land owned by a historical trust there are no restrictions on what flags can be flown. During the US Civil War there were a large number of different flags. Even the brief country of South Carolina. This makes for interesting colorful images.

This house was built in 1820. A three story brick double house, two entrances on different streets since there was much more open space at the time.
The same family lived here for almost two centuries, it’s currently owned by the Historic Charleston Foundation. The property was listed on the National Historic Registry in 1997.
These buildings have been maintained in the same condition as of 1850. All original, no renovations, and best of all…you can wander around on your own.

They look so calm, in control.
This is how thick Duck Weed can get. Turtles become completely encased in the plants.
If you view this large you can see the actual plant that is Duck Weed. It’s the smallest flowering plant in the world.
A problem;

The light is dim and the stairs creak a bit.
One of my favorite wanders, an 1850 stair case and statuette light.
