Long White Bridge, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens

July 10, 2020 Ellen Jennings 12 Comments

I’ve taken hundreds of pictures of the Long White Bridge at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens over the last five years. Even when there isn’t anything extra going on, like blooming azaleas, a Great Blue Heron hunting, or a perfect reflection–it just calls out to be photographed. I took this image the last time I was there, July 3rd.

On Tuesday this week a large tree on the left end of the bridge came down on the bridge. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but there was extensive damage to the structure. The bridge dates to the 1840s and plans are underway to rebuild promptly and exactly as it was.

At first glance the fallen palm frond at the edge of the pond looked like a giant eye looking back at me. Even so it’s a peaceful scene.

A flock of Grackles was zipping around and flying into my images around this pond. This one was a keeper with the reflection.

It’s a dark and rainy morning here, a good day to revisit pink.

A little breeze was ruffling the water and reptiles were the only creatures in sight.

Some days the sky seems bigger than others. Here, the sky is big and the Double-crested Cormorant quite small.
