Charleston's Marinas

I think I will shoot a series of images on this subject because they are all picturesque and very representative of the Charleston way of life.  Here are a couple to start off with, Bristol Marina and Ripley Light Marina.

Welcome to the World, Evangeline

For a change of pace here is a tender moment between mother and her week old baby.

Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary

This evening I took a Coastal Expeditions cruise from Shem Creek and spent an hour or so observing all the bird activity on Crab Bank.  It is highly recommended, not only because this sliver of sand with its teeming plethora of bird life is a treasure, but also because our boat captain was an extremely knowledgeable naturalist so I learnt a lot. Here are some of the images.

Summer evening in Charleston

I hadn't ventured out in the evening to shoot recently due to the stifling heat, but this evening I made a trip downtown with the intention of spending time in the Church Street area.  However, downtown was so full of people that I didn't even bother to try and find a parking space.  Cruising down Broad Street I made a stop at Colonial Lake and admired the new landscaping and other renovations and then spent awhile down at the City Marina before thankfully returning to my air conditioned car.
