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...

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...

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!
Victoria was curious about the insides of these Rose of Sharon seed pods, so she cut several of them open... this is one of several shots I took as she posed them for me.
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.
