Blue Heron Rookery

December 6, 2021 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography 2 Comments

The boys are back in town.

Male Great Blue Herons are in the rookery claiming the best nesting spots.

There’s lots of changing places, some fighting, and even early repairs to last years old branches.

One of the islands has plenty of red leaves and big trees. The Herons were flying around, over, and through making great shots, if you were in the right spot.

I missed more than a few, I’m rusty, and need to get more practice.

Colors are now a combination of a few fall reds, browns, and the greens of Palmettos.

Activity will pickup and continue on through summer. There will always be quiet times, but I even saw the first female tormenting / fighting a male at a nest.

Every shrimper on the docks have Pelicans sitting on board somewhere.

These two have nothing better to do than watch the humans wander below.

BTW, look at those feet !!!!!

Charleston Carriage House

Behind one of the old Charleston manors, Aiken-Rhett, are stables, enslaved quarters, and an old carriage house.

Poking around in the back buildings can be more fun than shooting the actual houses here.

It’s not the first time I’ve been in here, yet every time there is something new to photograph.

And yes, the shrimpers really are very colorful.

I know some equipment is a specific color for a reason, like the green nets. Others, the plastic bins, they may have been on sale.

This image is also a good example of why I went back to looking through film and equivalent digital filters. Kodachrome 64, above, was the standard 35 mm for years and the only Kodak film created specifically for the consumer market. The colors are vibrant.
