More Chicks, Different Swamp

6 Comments

We have a good number of swamps, and this time of year lots of chicks.

With my great organizational system I have to stop and look at the photo close to see where it was taken. Often that doesn’t work, so it’s don’t mention where it was shot or dig through the  images next time at the PC.  If I remember.

I’m not good with tree/plant names, but I can ID where they grow. This was from the nearby swamp, the tree is a cypress, so likely it’s on the Magnolia Plantation property. 😆. I’m such a country boy (yeah right).

I don’t even know what some of those things are! Many of these roles required him to be in different places, all the time. And… he had to ride a horse there.

Walking through town, taking random photographs.

I think each image is a nice representation of the old town. Together it’s a mini-tour of a beautiful old city.

Delivering Sticks, Egret

Great Egrets fly over to the nearby wood line and search for sticks. Every day for a few hours the birds make trips back and forth. Eventually one takes off, goes a different route, and heads for the marsh’s to fish.

If you catch this right you can have many opportunities for in flight photographs. The rule is take a few, then change your spot for another angle.

Jill Hooper – Love Letter

6 Comments

In the rotunda of the Gibbs Museum I spotted a familiar face down one of the wings. Jill Hooper, a self portrait, in a style that she is known  for.

The last time I saw this painting it was hanging as an exhibit in one of the old Charleston manors, in an unfinished room with several other works. Prior to that it hung in London’s National Portrait Gallery.

This is a recent acquisition. The artist lives in Charleston and is now hanging here and several museums in Europe.
