Intriguing Finds in Nature
Enjoying Flora and Fauna
And if you’re a fan of colorful blooms, you might be keen to hear about the enchanting moment captured by Mark Pritchard. He photographed a male House Finch happily perched on a **Firecracker flower** on Dataw Island. This image not only showcases the natural beauty that can be found in our gardens but also emphasizes the wonderful wildlife that thrives in our backyards. The vibrant colors of the flowers, teamed with the scenic backdrop, create a perfect summer postcard vibe that many of us can appreciate and enjoy.
Navigating Local Waters
Lastly, we experienced a bit of excitement here in Beaufort when Allan Lassiter, also from Lady’s Island, shared a dramatic capture of a cabin cruiser that was split apart and beached. This stunning image serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life by the water and the many stories that our local shores could tell. It’s a striking visual that draws us to imagine how the boat met its fate and what adventures it could have had before finding itself in such a predicament.
