South Carolina photos
I had a lovely time in South Carolina, and stocked up on peaches on the way back home today. There was an alligator just outside our condo:
I didn't spot any new bird species, but got to see more Louisiana herons and plenty of wood storks:
Giant golden orb spiders had meter-wide webs spread across every stretch of tree.
I narrowly avoided getting deployed to Louisiana to support recovery efforts due to Hurricane Gustav. More hurricanes are on their way, so more travel may be in my future.

I love orb weavers. We used to catch bugs for them when I was a kid just to watch them mummify stuff. And their abdomens are velvety soft if you manage to touch them.
I know I'm a total wuss, but if I saw a spider like that I'd never stop screaming. No sir, I'm just not a fan of the spiders. At least in person. I understand their place in the universe, but it needs to be far away from my person.
I don't like to call them "alligators"... I like to call them "swamp puppies". It's much cuter!
The alligator must have heard that Jimbo "the other white meat" was in town.
Nice wildlife shots all around. I really like golden orb weaver spiders.
