Last week of the 2023 year
Beach Days are the Best Days
We are slowly checking off the SC State Parks.
This trip was to include two parks... Edisto and Hunting Island.
Hunting Island was a "go" but unfortunately we ended up being a "no show" for Edisto because we only were given one night to escape for some peace and calm. One night is better than no night though.

Happy Hour with a view
...thirty minutes later, I realized the bag with our campfire dinner ingredients was still at home...whoops.
All kinds of critters.
Lined Sea Star
Lettered Olive
Portuguese man o' war
Physalia physalis
Sept 2016 National Geographic article contained this "most famous" tree.
Interesting biology fun fact:
"We’ve always felt that our playful Lowcountry dolphins are a special breed, and now scientists have confirmed it to be true. Beaufort’s dolphins are a new species, separate from the other dolphins living offshore."
