Eric Horan, one of the premier nature and wildlife photographers in South Carolina, is in town leading his Charleston Seabird Rookery Tours. I was looking forward to going out with him on Friday.  But Charleston Bay was too choppy for the number of people he had scheduled. Since I’d blocked off that time to go out with him photographing nature and wildlife, I decided there wasn’t any reason why I couldn’t just go it alone. So I headed to one of my favorite haunts…Magnolia Gardens Audubon Swamp. I’m hoping to get rescheduled with Eric on Tuesday. But for now, here’s a few favorites from my peaceful afternoon in the great outdoors!
