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...
Galanthus nivalis (Amaryllidaceae) 039 22
One of the first signs of spring. These hardy flowers have become a familiar indicator of the shifting seasons and a sure sign that warmer weather is on its way.
Centaurium erythraea (Gentianaceae) 170 21
Centaurium erythraea is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common names common centaury and European centaury.
It is a widespread plant of Europe (including Scotland, Sweden, and Mediterranean countries) and parts of western Asia and northern Africa.
This is an erect biennial herb that reaches half a meter in height. It grows from a small basal rosette and bolts a leafy, erect stem with many branches.
The erect inflorescences emerge from the stem and grow parallel to it, sometimes tangling with the foliage. Each inflorescence may contain many flowers. The petite flower is pinkish-lavender. It flowers from June until September.

Backyard botany safaris give me a chance to use my camera and keep my gas costs down. Here is a photo from one of those, edited to b/w.
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...

One more from this great location and before you ask... no, I didn't put that pebble there :)
Wishing you all a great weekend.
Just back from a wonderful weekend in Charleston shooting several familiar, and a few new, locations. One of the places I've been to before, of course, is Botany Bay. I wasn't real sure how the scenes would work, seeing that there was a storm hanging just off the coast. But the bay didn't disappoint, and I found myself taking a fresh look at an old friend.

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!
Barlia robertiana (Orchidaceae) 061 23
Barlia robertiana is a very robust plant with broad and bright yellow-green leaves and an impressive spike allowing an easy identification.
Flowers are large and fragrant with a large hanging lip that is purple, tinged with green at the edge.
Hypochrome specimens can be found with a very beautiful silvery sheen.
Generally it is the first orchid flower appearing so it is often honoured to announce the start of the "new orchid season"!
Indian Warrior (Pedicularis densiflora) emerging from the forest floor on Sonoma Mountain. This native California wildflower appears in late winter and early spring, its deep red bracts standing out against the dark understory and open sky.
Photographed near Lake Fern, Sonoma Valley, California.
The 4,630-acre plantation on Edisto Island was a gift from the Margaret Pepper family. It was given to the state in 1977 by Mr. Pepper, but was only able to be used after his wife passed away so she would have the opportunity to continue her years on the land she loved, as per her husband's request.
In July 2008, the land - now a Wildlife Management Area operated by South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources - was made open to the public.
Botany Bay Plantation The land itself is full of nature's rich beauty - from the sunflower fields to the salt marsh and fresh water ponds to the Spanish moss draped oaks to the miles of private beach; it is emblematic of South Carolina's unique environment.
