Chopper & Junebug at the Blessing of the Animals
#14
Chopper and I went out to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens today using our Be a Tourist in Your Own Town pass, which sadly expires tomorrow. Anyway … it was the first almost-spring day we’ve had, and with the news of blizzards and wintry mess elsewhere in the country, I feel a little guilty at how gorgeous it was. I can however share the photos for those of you stuck in less outdoor-friendly weather right now.
My photo of the week – a flower I can’t identify (I am bad with plants) with the Ashley River behind it.

I’m a sucker for camellias and Magnolia has some extensive camellia gardens. Only a few are in bloom, but they are magnificent.

Lots of trails wandering through camellia gardens, swamp, and forest.

Turtles taking advantage of the wonderful warm day. Note the foot extension. That wasn’t movement; he was posed like that.

TONS of these birds in the river – I think Greater Scaup but I expect the Bird Identification Help Group on Flickr to set me straight.
