Cypress on Lake Marion, the largest lake in the state of South Carolina, covering 110,000 acres.

Now this is what I picture when I think of Myrtle Beach.  Hot sunny day on the beach with the festive city beckoning me for the nightlife.

Still in Myrtle Beach, the city in the background.

Feeding frenzy!  Up the road from Charleston by a few hours is another tourist destination; Myrtle Beach.

These crazy fish were found at "Lake Broadway" of Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC.  It's a popular attraction, parsing out quarters for fistfuls of fish food to toss into the water below the boardwalk.  These fish have been well conditioned.  They wait, mouths gaping open as if to scream out in starvation, waiting for the next gullible tourist to toss them food.  They aren't the only scavengers, they fight for this food alongside ducks and turtles.  From what I understand, when this attraction opened in 1995, this lake was stocked with Israeli Carp, Catfish, Japanese Carp, Bream and Hybrid Bass.  I'd say they are flourishing. It's certainly one of my favorite things to see here.

This was neat to witness.  It's a locust drying its new wings after emerging from its molt.

Back at Pitt Street Bridge again, with a softer feel this time.  That's historic downtown Charleston in the distance and the Ravanel bridge that connects it to Mt Pleasant.  Lazy Lowcountry Life.

A little laugh for you.  It almost has the makings of a bad joke, "Two goose butts and a turtle..."

#262

I felt like going for a swing today.  It makes me feel like a kid again.

#261

This just seemed to iconic of southern charm to me.

Can you believe there are only 100 posts left to complete this series?!

How about some baby duck fuzzy cuteness for today?

There are three different shots of the morning sun washing over the wetlands as seen from Pitt Street Bridge. Not a bad morning at all.

Like I said yesterday, a gem of a place to sit and watch the sunrise.  This is a good depiction of how long and narrow the park is.

Yesterdays view was toward downtown Charleston.  If you turn around, facing the other direction is a view of Isle of Palms which sits right on the Atlantic ocean.  This is a gem of a location for watching sunrises.  If you look closely, you can see the little dots of palms that line the connector to Isle of Palms.
