Botany Bay Plantation

A very early morning outing at Botany Bay on Edisto Island. I had to start from my hotel at 3 AM to make it to this location before dawn. Botany Bay Plantation is a nature preserve and has regulated visitor hours. Gates open 30 minutes before sunrise - I wish they'd open a little sooner as the golden hour is pretty much more than half way done by the time one can make it to the beach. Nevertheless, it's a great location to visit at sunrise, especially if there are high clouds to add drama. Recommended to visit when the tide is ebbing as you then get the shadows of the trees, which to my eyes add more depth to the image. On this day, there was a bank of low clouds that prevented too much color but it was a great sunrise to witness nonetheless. The trees have so much character and add so much to the image. It's hard to look at the remnants of these trees and not imagine the onslaught they've withstood at the hands of mother nature. #WeekendGetAwayForTheFamily #colorful #USA #weekend #treetrove #blue

Watch the sunset from Kiawah Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Kiawah is a golf-centered resort island with lots of palmettos, pine trees, and waterbirds. The dolphins practice "strand feeding" here, which is the act of herding the fish up on the beach along with a wave and wriggling up on the sand to retrieve them. #UStravel #travel #naturelovers #beach #sunset #Kiawah #SouthCarolina #RVlife #earthporn #goldenhour #camping #glamping #wanderlust #beachbound www.RVLuckyOrWhat.com
