Description
I expected to find sunny skies on a trip to Botany Bay State Park on Edisto Island, South Carolina on this day in December, but was greeted by low contrast skies and high tides which covered the causeway over to the two islands you must pass to get to their famous Live Oake Trees.
When we are out shooting, we are always asked by others, "did you get a good shot?" I always tell people the same thing. "I have to get home and then see what I have." Sometimes we know we did well, but then there are other days like this one where jewels are hidden in the raw images. The stark branches against the soft water of the ocean in a long exposure is a stunning example of what simple lines can yield when deciding what to photograph. Perfect in black and white.
What I came home with were striking photos highlighting the second life these trees are giving us in photos. What a marvelous day I had. I hope you enjoy this on your walls as much as I loved this day!

Greetings to a sweet young lady and a highly accomplished artist, In your eloquent biography you wrote that we're surrounded by beauty, but so much isn't noticed. Obviously, that statement does not apply to you because you see beauty in everything, even dead branches such as the ones in this lovely shot. You see beauty in everything because you're blessed with beauty in your gentle soul, my lady.
