The second day of the eighth month of the year of the OP


RAINY DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA




Kinda on again off again rain, so outside stuff is a little limited today. Good book day!



The image is of the Gravais Street bridge between West Columbia and Columbia, SC spanning the Congaree River. The Congaree is a product of the joining of the Saluda and Broad Rivers just above this bridge.


Even though this is within spitting distance of a major metropolis and "in town" so to speak, the river is home to all kinds of critters. Long legged wading birds, egrets primarily and a few blue herons are seen every day. Harder to find are the water snakes, moccasins, rattlers, and copperheads. Oh yeah, we got em. An occasional gator will make it's way up the river from time to time as well.
