I could put you practically within my footprints for this one, because I remember pretty precisely where I was standing, at the edge of the spillover from this decorative sculpture pool within Brookgreen Gardens between Murrell’s Inlet and Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. This was a sculpture garden, filled with various works of art, and I was indeed doing some photos of them, including the one seen out-of-focus in the background – but if my preferred subjects happen to show up, I’ma do them too. Green treefrogs (Dryophytes cinereus<\/em>) aren’t terribly aquatic – the name ‘treefrog’ provides a hint – but they can swim well enough and will use water sources as needed. So when I found one peeking out, I had to ensure that it was part of the composition. Brookgreen Gardens<\/a> is a pretty nice place to check out, worth even a side trip – in fact, worth a few days there, which your entry fee will cover. I won’t guarantee that this guy will still be handy – the one in front, anyway;<\/strong> the one in back is likely still there wrestling his alligator. No that’s not a euphemism. You can even see right<\/em> where I was in the post immediately following that visit<\/a>, courtesy of The Girlfriend – I told you I could place you in my footprints. Though it took a little playing around to pin it down from the aerial photos, but<\/em>, the default photos right now in both the online and installable versions of Google Earth show a blob right on the northern curve of the wall alongside the darker spillover that is precisely<\/em> where I was standing – I’d speculate that the aerial photo actually captured me there, except The Girlfriend would also be in the frame and there’s no sign of that.<\/p>\n

Pretty much right across the street sits Huntington Beach State Park<\/a>, which we’ve seen in an earlier Tripod Holes<\/a>, so again, worth the visit. Just, not so much for the beach vistas…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
