Having grown up in the Midwest & Northeast where the landscape is lush and rolling, I find the South Carolina Lowcountry other worldly. I am ALWAYS amazed at this landscape–it has such a primitive and raw feel to it. And the more time I spend here, the more I love it. It really does remind me of the jungle. And speaking of the jungle, the movies the Jungle Book and Forest Gump were filmed out here on the Sea Islands … and the Prince of Tides too. So cool! This little scene is from a nearby pond that is often full of egrets, herons … and gators too. I so enjoy observing it … from a distance. 🙂
