Ibis (es) group, comments? Cool?

First time visit to this birding, with binoculars for "them" place. Fast walkers. Rainy day, but beautiful. I now have a pass, can get in to all Charleston County Parks for free.

This is an old rice plantation. There are the gates to let water in and out. Fresh and salt.










Huge place, want to come back, sit on bench, absorb, shoot and see. This is near where woodstork, etc were. Rain, there is a smudge on my lens. I came out and took photos anyway. Deer tracks in dirt "road".

There is so much to see, so many different ways to see it. Love to share the places I love. This is a new one.

Ginger,
The birds are cool, but the background & foreground look fantastic in that flat light. The greens and browns look very silky smooth & are very saturated. I would love to see some landscape shots there. Looks like you have the same flat Hurricaine light we have had here the last few days.

Ginger,
The first one is beautiful with that tall grass, so green. I love the repetition of the birds in a line.

I love those three guys walking along. They look like old men.

I love the bench on the path. Please go back and get that one again without the raindrops on the lens. It is sooooo beautiful.

Great place! Great job on the pictures. thumb

Thanks, Andy. I did Spoleto for years. This year we only did the Memorial Day Picolo Spoleto Men's Choral group.

I have slowly backed off from spending the money on Spoleto. There was only one thing I missed that really bothered me, that was the dualing harmonicas at Bowen Island. Also the Gospel Singers and anything with the Westminster Choir. Tonight was the finale.

I am content. Using the pass to the Parks Department, that is a year around thing. The dog park is in there, all bird walks at Caw Caw are included..... changing priorities and means. (Bothers me that it cuts down what I can photograph.) I am hoping to pick up some of the same type of things as they are scattered here through out the year.

We stay, the arts stay, for the most part: it just is not as concentrated. There is a blue grass event coming up at the end of June, a Friday and Saturday thing with bbQ, uh, huh, Andy, Barbeque!, at Boone Hall Plantation (famous as is often used in the making of movies) I might go to that, Bill will be working.
It is reasonable. The BBQ is from all over the country: a who does BBQ best type thing. And we know there are many different styles.
