While I have been mostly focused on writing, I did have some time to take some photographs of winter 2020 in Murrells Inlet South Carolina.
With a looming deadline for the next book, most of my time has been spent at my desk writing, rewriting, and rewriting. In fact, with only two exceptions, all of these photographs were taken from my house. With the salt marsh behind us, the views are consistently beautiful and the wildlife exquisite.
My study encompasses the back of the house facing east, overlooking that very marsh. So I can be sitting at my desk and enjoying this view at the same time. Like the mountains in our previous house, the scenes are constantly changing and the wildlife is intriguing.
Hope you enjoy the images. I look forward to showing you the marsh springing to life as the warmer weather settles over us.
Mist floating across the salt marsh and Drunken Jack Island at sunrise. Not a bad view while waiting on the dogs in the backyard. Sunrise over the salt marsh of Murrells Inlet. Huntington Beach State Park in the background. Great Egret hunched down against a cold winter wind. The globe of the rising sun peeking over Huntington Beach State Park. Cooper’s Hawk hanging out on a backyard tree branch. Sunrise is my favorite part of the morning—Peaceful, quiet, and the promise of a new day. And the view from the deck can be spectacular. Great Blue Heron sheltering against the winds of the salt marsh. The rains stopped and the morning clouds broke up over the ocean, letting just a hint of sunrise glisten on the marsh. Glowing sunrise over the salt marsh on a stormy morning. Low tide exposed this shipwreck of a sailing boat along the Murrells Inlet jetty.
