Northern Cardinal, Bright in the Sun
Northern Cardinals were zipping all around the woodland area that abuts the Cypress Wetlands wading bird rookery. Occasionally one stopped in a sunny spot for a moment.

Camellias, Red Variety
A spot of color from last week, before the ice, snow and cold descended on the lowcountry of South Carolina.

Alligator, Hibiscus Goal
I watched this Alligator slowly swim along the edge of the pond hoping he would somehow line up with the reflection of the Star Hibiscus.
And he did!
He hardly made a ripple and the reflection stayed intact.

Northern Cardinal, Head-on and Profile
Northern Cardinals are plentiful in our area and I see them in all sorts of environments.
Rarely do I get an un-obstructed view.

Red-shouldered Hawk, Red Buds
I heard two squawking Red-shouldered Hawks, and spotted this one just as he landed on a small tree stump. The red blooms or seed pods behind him made an interesting background.

Bee In Red Camellia
This hefty red Camellia was at a nice height for me to spot a bee on a pollen gathering mission.
The sun created some interesting shadows…
…while the bee checked every side of the tightly bunched filaments.
The bee climbed his way out of the flower before taking off.
Another bee quickly took the prime spot in this bloom.

Valentine Day Camellia
I was first struck by the white speckles and the size of this Camellia bloom.
I passed by again a few days later and the color had faded, a few age spots appeared, but it was still beautiful.

Late Season Rose
About a half hour before dark, the sun low in the sky, this rose caught my eye.
Then the bigger scene did, including a Spanish Moss draped tree hanging over the marsh behind the fence.
