A Loggerhead Sea Turtle’s Night Venture

A Loggerhead Sea Turtle’s Night Venture

In the tranquil surroundings of Beaufort, SC, a picturesque scene unfolded at Fripp Island under the soft glow of the Full Strawberry Moon. At 8:56 p.m., June 21, an amazing capture of a loggerhead sea turtle was seen retreating back into the wild expanses of the ocean after coming ashore for laying its precious eggs – a sight that encapsulates the essence of Lowcountry Life.

The heartwarming moment, marking the 42nd nest of the loggerhead season on Fripp Island, brought joy and excitement among the local community. Paige Bouy, a local resident, was the lucky one to immortalize the moment in her camera.

Scenes from Lowcountry Outdoors

That’s not all; there are more stunning visuals to grab from the Lowcountry Life landscape. A few days later, Mark Bouy managed to snap another local star, an alligator, leisurely crossing the road, causing a minor, albeit amusing, traffic jam on Fripp Island.

In a unique spectacle, Austen Hecker, another local resident, captured a mesmerizing photo of a rainbow pouring its vibrant colors into the Broad River one beautiful June evening. This is truly a sight which proves you don’t always need to chase rainbows; sometimes they come to you!

Wildlife Triumphs in Lowcountry Life

As if that wasn’t enough, the next photo submission featured takes us to the yard of Garden-a-Day garden owner, Linda, but you wouldn’t immediately know it. The scene looks more like something out of Africa, giving a sneak peek into the rich fauna that adorns the Lowcountry landscape.

The beauty of Lowcountry Life comes alive once more at the Cypress Wetlands of Port Royal. A photograph by Clark Morse showcases a group of tri-colored herons looking a little puzzled, but still fetching in their unique, vibrant colors.

Lastly, we have this stunner courtesy of Daniel D’Orazio of Beaufort. This striking image of a sunrise was captured around 5:30 a.m. on a serene Saturday at Hunting Island, reminding us once again how splendid mother nature can be.

The photography community in and around Beaufort is surely a talented bunch capturing the magic of Lowcountry Life with their camera lenses.
