Why I love the Anacostia River Trail

Roseated Spoonbills

I actually recorded this video and photos standing on the trail, which is inside the District of Columbia.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We went a little overboard with the decorations this year, but the kids in the neighborhood are super delighted to pass by on their way to the park. Most of the adults also seem to smile as they walk. We usually have free stickers and those are also very popular.

Lots of people take picture, but most forget to use our hashtag: #DCflamingos

We have a selfie-frame and an illuminated arbor:

Brookgreen Gardens

If you find yourself anywhere near the north east section of costal South Carolina, you should really visit Brookgreen Gardens. It is the largest outdoor sculpture garden in the U.S. The grounds are spectacular.

Across Hwy 17 is Huntington State Park Beach. A great place to camp. https://southcarolinaparks.com/huntington-beach

If you happen upon this area in December, you shouldn’t miss the lights: https://www.brookgreen.org/events/nights-thousand-candles
