I walked by this old plantation statue, then had to stop and take a second look.
He is now green.
Not St. Patrick’s Day green.
Pollen green.
Welcome to the south.
Yes, He Is Green

Pollen And A Gator
Each spring people everywhere talk about the pollen in the air. Up north we did, down here is different though. We do complain, but we can point at anything outdoors too. It’s covered in green pollen.
Example below; an alligator sleeping and covered in the pollen that drifted on him.
Now that’s pollen !
Great Egrets, Cypress Swamp
About everything you could ask for in a southern swamp scene.
Old Music Room, Charleston
Many of the old wealthy planters homes in town had a music room. Most always there was a short piano, and a large harp.
Looks like the children all had a turn at learning to play a harp.
The first thing that came to me was…who tuned these things 😳
Swamp Red-shouldered Hawk
This hawk was in our local swamp, in the usual area. However I thought he was very quiet. Red-shoulders are a noisy lot. Ellen found him in the tree line facing the open water.
I was able to walk a little and slightly change my angel before he left us.
Ellen watched where he had gone and it wasn’t that far down the trees. A few minutes later we again found him.
This side of the swamp is a common spot for them to find small lizards and frogs. At least two pair nest nearby most years.
John Cordes Prioleau House 1808
I believe this is still a private residence. I’ve always loved the house, and the alley which has a great name.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Male Anhinga, Cypress Swamp
I like this because it’s a good representation of an early morning swamp when there is no bright dawn. I can almost feel the damp.
Dull, dark, dreary is a good description here. No place I would rather be.
Morning Light, Great Egret Posing
He found the smallest tip of an old log protruding from the swamp. His good luck finding a dry spot, mine finding him standing there.
