True Fall came today
October 18, 2018
Living in the Low Country of South Carolina
and working from home, the transition
into Fall seems to be the most notable for me.
The day when a beach bum has to put on long pants
marks the true end of Summer.

This is Campbell’s Covered Bridge in Landrum, SC.
It’s the only remaining covered bridge in the state.
The grounds surrounding the bridge are a
county park where you can picnic
or go wading in the stream.

October has been very warm this year
and we’ve had no change of color in the trees yet.

Happy Fall!!

Out in the middle of nowhere
live the eagles,
and ospreys,
and kingfishers,
and herons,
and me!

Unique View of Pilot Mountain
December 28, 2011
North Carolina has a very unique natural feature
called Pilot Mountain, which appears to rise out of nowhere.
Native Americans were said to use it as a landmark
and called the mountain Jomeokee –
The “Great Guide” or “Pilot”.
~~~
This view overlooks Lake Larissa,
a man-made lake in a beautiful setting.
I’m lucky enough to work just a few
minutes away from this area.

see if you can find the ducks on the lake,

Click on the second photo to make out the unusual
shape of Pilot Mountain a little better.

the view from the overlook at the state park.

The trails at Pilot Mountain State Park are also
part of the NC Birding Trails.

New Colt with his Mother

Here is the colt with his mother. She is beautiful also,
so large, and a deep brown with huge hoofs.
A Drive in the Country
May 19, 2009
As I was driving in rural Davie County on Saturday,
I came upon a beautiful farm with several
pastures for horses and black cows.
I came up to photograph this little fellow’s mother because she was so
gorgeous, and was very surprised to find him lying sound asleep on the
grass near the front of the paddock. Before I could get his picture, he
sensed me, woke up and stretched. He was only a few weeks old, if that.
