Charleston: Day 2

Starting out the day, not sure what we were going to do as there was a tornado watch and weather.com predicted thunder storms all day.


We decided to go on an alligator tour as the guide promised she would also talk about birds...


Look closely in the background to the right, there is an alligator there. We were assured the birds know the gators are more likely to hunt at night, so this bird was not in great danger.


Duncan's camera had this cool effect with a certain lens. We liked the way it framed the sheep, but later decided it looked like we were hunting them. You be the judge.


Another cool bird trying to dry off as he fished.


Beautiful Spanish moss blowing in the wind.


They were posing for us.


RAIN?!? What rain?? It ended up being a beautiful day!


Obligatory kiss-photo. We are celebrating one year of marriage after all!



This gator was sunbathing, so...



Duncan risked his life to get that photo! (Okay, maybe he's not that close, but it was still a bit scary!)


This is the famous Middleton Oak. It's more than 1,000 years old (and sadly suffered some damage last April). You can see how HUGE the trunk is!


A little more perspective!


Duncan's favorite: a goat!


Duncan took this awesome photo. If you closely, there is fish in the bird's beak!!


Duncan just has a way with cats. I told him that he must omit an odor that attract them. this cat literally climbed up his leg to be in his lap. Jealous? Yes, yes I was.


We saw two of these snakes in close proximity.

I made a game out of taking photos of Duncan taking photos of scary animals.



Today has been wonderful! And we're not even done! Thought you'd enjoy seeing some of things we encountered though! We're headed home tomorrow. While our stay has been brief, it's been fabulous and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
