Back In Business

 

I'm back in business. I replaced the 300mm zoom lens I ruined with my kayak capsizing. To protect my new equipment I purchased a waterproof Pelican case from Boater's World in Mt Pleasant. See the Pelican case protect by Blackberry and camera in this animated graphic. Saturday I tried out my new zoom on a pair of Osprey that live in a nest off of Bushy Park Rd in Berkeley County SC. Today I kayaked Wambaw Creek and spotted a Yellow-Crowned Night-Heron and plenty of alligators.

Charleston Maritime Festival 2007

I took some snapshots at The Charleston Maritime Festival 2007. Check out my album. I wish I could have seen the ships sail into the Charleston harbor.

Brookgreen Gardens

 

We took a two hour detour through Brookgreen Gardens on our way to Myrtle Beach SC. It was a nice visit. The gardens are very well maintained. Be sure to visit if you get the chance. Until then check out some photos.

Shriner Parade Myrtle Beach SC

 The 2007 Shriner parade in Myrtle Beach SC was entertaining as usual. Here are some photos from the event.

New Camera

While holding my breath I inserted a battery and flipped the switch to my old Nikon D70 camera this morning. Nothing. It didn't survive last weekend's soaking. Rather than spend at least a couple of hundred bucks getting it repaired I decided to purchase a new Nikon D40x. Here are some of the first pictures I snapped.
