| I spent a couple of days in Charleston, South Carolina. I met an old friend. She took me out for lunch, gave me a tour of her town home, and drove me around town for a couple hours and went shopping together. The next day I visited the Audubon Swamp Garden. Look at these lovely knees on the cypress. |
 |
| At this nature preserve they build sunning platforms for the gators. |
 |
| I watched this American bittern hunt for 5 minutes. As he moved on his or her log, the log turned and the bittern had to keep moving to keep it's balance. Soon another bittern flew in and they hunted together. I was lucky to get this view of a bittern. |
 |
| A great blue heron made a nest on top of a tree out in the lake. This must be a very safe place for a heron nest. |
 |
| This tree had a dozen great egrets perched in it's branches. |
 |
| Woah, maybe I shouldn't proceed on this path. When I came back 30 minutes later the gator had moved on. Another smaller gator was ten feet away. |
 |
| Turtles don't share the same sunning ramps as gators. |
 |
| Here is the tree with the heron nest and a couple gators sunning on a ramp. |
 |
| I like Charleston, it's a cute little town. |
