Great Blue

 

This Great Blue Heron snagged a prize snake or an eel for breakfast

Another heron tried to steal the breakfast away but was unsuccessful. All this happening this morning off the causeway at Huntington State Park, Murrells Inlet, SC

Conservatory

No Orchids this time....in fact there seemed to be less planted then normal

 

Fairy house

Main room.... lots of color from Azalais 

Miniature Hostas

I call these Donkey Tails....I don't know the real name but this one was a beauty

Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory

 

Walking into the conservatory from the very cold outside, you are surrounded by warm, humid air. Feels so good but also steams up my camera lens....lol

Belle Isle in Winter

 

    I choose a very gloomy and bitter cold day to visit Belle Isle. It was good getting out though and I didn't stray too far from my car. I did visit the conservatory which was worth the trip. There is nothing like a cold winter's day to appreciate the warmth and humidity of this beautiful place. I'll be posting photos from the conservatory soon.
