Magnolia Plantation, Charleston, S.C.
Blogging, the internet and photography. It's a perfect match, isn't it? We are all out with our cameras finding treasures to bring back to present to you. Paul Lester went to Beidler Forest, Leah Sparks went to Hunting Island and Old Sheldon and I walked the Audubon Swamp Walk at Magnolia Plantation.
It was a bright day and all the swamp creatures were enjoying the sunshine. I had to smile at the way the gator was so relaxed that his jaw drooped right off the ramp. The turtles appear to feel quite safe. They must realize they are a crunchy treat rather than an everyday meal.
I'm watching the Olympic closing ceremonies. It's a good day to have shared Canadian/US loyalties.
I love Magnolia Gardens. I remember seeing an alligator on a board like this but no turtles. Those are brave turtles.
ReplyDeleteThe Olympics have been a real treet this year, especially since it has been so nasty outside. Maybe now it can get nice. It is always good to hear Neil Young, one of my favorite Canadians. Oh no, I gotta go, William Shatner is on.
ReplyDeleteLinda, they must know they are safe but it still looks odd. They do it all the time.
ReplyDeleteLes, it has been fun. Who knew all these people were Canadian?
What a fun picture! I miss the gators. Don't get to see any out here!
ReplyDeleteCrikey! Makes going for a walk a wee bit more exciting, no? Methinks I would not stray too close to the water's edge...
ReplyDeleteLove the gator shot, Joan. That is one relaxed fellow. The turtles have the right idea. They are not at the business end of that fellow's machinery! :-)
