Galanthus nivalis (Amaryllidaceae) 033 21
As the name suggests, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first flowers to bloom; depending on region, they appear from January, often while snow still blankets the ground. This low-growing plant tolerates partial shade to full sun. It is toxic to animals and humans, but it offers the benefit of being virtually immune to feeding by deer and other wildlife.
This splendid Phalaenopsis (Moth) orchid produced eight striking flowers which lasted for many weeks. I`m not too sure of their colour description but I do know that I loved them & received many compliments for them.

What a great surprise to see this beautiful dolphin doing a "strand-feed" in the shallow tidal creek at Botany Bay, SC. He was by himself, which is unusual, as the dolphins usually "strand-feed in groups or pods. When I first saw him I initially thought he had "beached" himself, but a moment later the water exploded, and he was chasing (trying to "strand") mullets (fish) in the shallows.
My only regret is that I didn't do a video of this exciting action. Next time....
Interesting video of the "strand-feeding" action in SC. from U-Tube...

Found some new trees :) .. well they are not exactly new since many have photographed them before me, but I am glad that I got a chance to create my own version of them. I visited Botany Bay this weekend, following the advice of many, and I was not disappointed.
LE at Botany Bay from last week. Caroline and I visited some of the bays surrounding Broadstairs. Took a few long exposures. This was about a minute according to the meta data. This is a really lovely spot. Can only thank Matt for introducing us to this beautiful part of the world...
Alliaria petiolata (Brassicaceae) 108 21
Alliaria petiolata is a biennial flowering plant in the mustard family, Brassicaceae. It is native to Europe, western and central Asia, and northwestern Africa, from Morocco, Iberia, and the British Isles, north to northern Scandinavia, and east to northern Pakistan and western China.
In the first year of growth, plants form clumps of round-shaped, slightly wrinkled leaves, that when crushed smell like garlic. The next year plants flower in spring, producing cross-shaped white flowers in dense clusters.

I just love this road :)
Edisto Island, South Carolina.
“One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" ~ Rachel Carson.
A beautiful morning begins with the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at Botany Bay, South Carolina. The Botany Bay Wildlife Management area on Edisto Island encompasses more than 3,000 acres of beach, tidal wet lands and forest with diverse flora and fauna. This is a wonderful place to hike, kayak, or just explore the beach area.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate your views, faves, and comments!
Hepatica nobilis (Ranunculaceae) 073 24
Usually about 10cm in height but up to 15cm under ideal conditions. Leaves kidney-shaped. 5-8cm across with three broadly ovate to rounded, blunt lobes, often purple-flushed and hairy beneath, sometimes with a pale marbling above. Flowers 1.5-2.5cm across, usually with six tepals, in shades of blue, purple, pink and pure white, late winter to spring. Most of Europe except the extreme north and south, usually in woods on limestone.
A classic Southern scene: a limerock road dripping with Spanish moss and haunting shadows against a somewhat foggy morning with winter light streaming through the trees.
One of my favorite places to shoot, but only in the winter when the sun is low on the horizon. A magical place in the Southern landscape!
Actually it looks like a broccoli/cauliflower hybrid, writ large.
I asked around for answers as to what this is called.
Mary says “Crepe myrtle.”
Tom says: Melaleuca linariifolia. Also known as Paperbark or "snow in summer" tree. www.marinatreeandgarden.org/treelist/melaleuca_l.html
