We live close to the ACE Basin Refuge

The ACE Basin represents one of the largest undeveloped wetland ecosystems remaining on the Atlantic Coast.

(click on the link for more info about the area)

where we go for walks year round.

We encounter great blue herons, egrets, ducks, alligators, snakes and wild boars.

Yes, we have encountered all of the above on our walks!

It is a beautiful place that changes color over our S Carolina seasons.

This day was a wintry day, gray blue sky, brown and gold marsh grasses and the birds were everywhere over the marsh and old rice fields. 

Thankfully, we had a camera!

The ACE Basin is another special place here in the Charleston area. I always forget how big it is, but it's HUGE! A preserve that encompasses the boundaries of 3 rivers, all beginning with the letters A, C, and E.  Hubby and I go there for walks frequently and enjoy a peaceful time with nature which sometimes means: eagles, alligators, snakes and lots of birds. I'm sure there are many more critters but these are the ones we have encountered!  There is also an old plantation home there, 

Grove Plantation. One day, I will paint it. 

This painting is actually a redo. I painted it earlier this year and was not quite happy with it, so I pulled it and in a little bit of time, was able to give it the look I had wanted to begin with.  

I had also intended to participate in the 30 day challenge in September and it is now day 10 and just getting started.  Story of my life! Messed up priorities! What other excuse can I come up with?
