Once Burned, Monochrome Monday

Walk through an old pine forest and you will see the scars.

The trees are tall and strong, near the base are small damages, blackened areas, even indentations.

The forest was burned, but a control burn. Dead grass is missing, healthy tall plants are all around. Nothing for a wild forest fire to eat.

White Ibis – Monochrome Monday

Two simple monochrome photographs of a White Ibis around swamp water.

Usually I don’t do any straight out of camera photographs. However these were cropped and published.

Ellen and I both relied more on shorter lenses in St. Augustine. The rookery birds ignore people and have been nesting here for many generations.  A very unique situation.

Middleton Plantation, Cira 1730, Monochrome Monday

Part of the barnyard of Middleton Plantation, South Carolina.

The property was first built around 1730, bigger buildings added through the mid 1800’s.

In 1865, during the US Civil War, much of the property was burned or damaged by Federal forces.

The current walls on the property were constructed with the original bricks from the ruined north flanker and main building.
