Hiking with my dogs today, I came across what I believe to be the remains of a building on some property that may have been a loblolly pine plantation a long time ago. There were quite a few large pine plantations around here...also cotton plantations, so I guess it could've been either one.
Before that, the area was farmed and hunted in the 1700s by the Sugaree Indians. They were later more or less wiped out by disease and wars with other tribes, and I believe they were assimilated into the Catawba tribes.
You can see things not seen before in the winter woods because the vegetation and leaves have thinned out. Chances are good I'd never have seen this in the summer.
Anyway, here's the photo. Click on it to view it larger.

Really good shot. I love night photography.
Out on the marsh in Beaufort, South Carolina.
If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see a dragonfly on the right that flew by as I made the shot.
Are you sure that wasn't a drone?
That shot makes me think of Reds, Sea Trout and blue crabs...mmmm

Yeah, I'm sure. Dragonflies were everywhere around there, but only one stuck around while I was shooting. The rest of 'em must've been camera shy.
Beaufort has changed a lot, and not for the better, in my opinion. Tourists have discovered it over the past several years. There are still some nice little restaurants that the yankees haven't found yet, though...probably because they're too far off the beaten path. One in particular serves flounder stuffed with crab meat that will make you close your eyes and sigh with pleasure. It seems to have a totally different taste and texture from that served in Calabash, NC and Murrells Inlet, SC.

There I was, up in Antonio, CO. I follow a steam engine down to the water tank.
This dude drives up in his van, and fires up his drone.
Launches it right over me!
Yes it pisses me off!
And I'm not even a sensitive person!
And it's agin the law to shoot at drones.
But I still some pics of fill that train with water!
Yes, it was a gorgeous day in Southern Colorado!

My wife likes doing puzzles and every year for her Birthday, I get her a custom jigsaw puzzle. During the course of the year, I'll take some pictures that I think'll make a good puzzle.

That stage coach is awesome!!!!!!!!
How cool would it be to get to ride in one??
This one is a Genuine Concord Coach, located in the old Lincoln County Courthouse, Lincoln , NM.
I think the ones you can ride, like in Tombstone, are replicas.
And please don't ever ask these guys-
What Time Do We Get To Lordsburg?
They hate that!
This one was riding folks around the NM Farm and Ranch Museum, Las Cruces, NM.

I dont know if its still there, there used to be a covered wagon in Big Sky Mt, I stopped to get a picture and another couple also stopped, I got under the wagon and put my feet up on the wheels to stop it like they do in the movies, I had the other guy take my picture. [emoji1]

Blue Valley Creamery
Remember drinking lemonade from this when our family had fish fries and picnics . Came from a very old farmer a cousin my dads side Morrilton AR. Has a brass label tacked on the side If found return to Blue Valley Creamery with Jesses' name and customer number . All of my old folks have passed , don't know if originally a barrel with lid and spigot added. The history of BVC is online and all I can find is metal milk jugs

That is my great Uncle. My Grandmother's brother.
He lived on that island during the salmon season and wintered in Minnesota during the off season. He and my aunt built the cabin and had a smoke house and cannery on the island.
He was an extraordinary man.
I think of him often.
My wife and I flew to Cordova, Alaska and hired a boat to take us out to his cabin. Hell of an adventure.
My aunt took that picture.
He built that cabin in the 40's. The building of his 'home' is chronicled in the publication of 'The Alaska Sporstman' magazine. November of 1948 if I am not mistaken. He wrote the article and supplied all of the pictures.
