Little Rhody is, like many things with size issues, spunky and fiercely independent. The state is small (only 48 miles long and 37 miles wide), you can drive all the way through the state in 45 minutes (if traffic isn’t bad). Oddly enough our country’s smallest state has the longest official name, “State of Rhode [...]
A whole new area for bird watching! (We found this on a sign on Tybee Island, Georgia):
This month’s mystery photo is a good example of what happens when an amateur photographer attempts to take a nighttime photo of a grey/black bird without flash. The photo was snapped at Balmorhea State Park in December of 2006. I was at the spring-fed pond way past sundown because all the inhabitants (fish, turtles, insects, [...]

This female Yellowbelly Slider was really going fast—either to get to her nest or just after she left her nest to get back to the water. Erin shot this video when we visited Old Charles Towne (near Charleston, SC).

We are moving pretty quickly these days because Lance has a conference in Arlington, Virginia that we are trying to make. While we enjoyed what little we saw of South Carolina it did seem a shame to have to leave it so soon. As for our time in North Carolina, it too would be brief. [...]
Charleston, South Carolina is a place of firsts; the city grew from the first successful settlement in the Carolinas, it is home to America’s first theater building (the Dock Street Theatre which opened in 1736), the town gave the struggling new republic its first decisive victory of the Revolutionary War, the state was the first [...]
Everyone needs a social life, right? I signed up for a MySpace account earlier this year, but never updated it or customized it much. To be honest, I probably was just too busy. But, it also wasn’t inviting, compelling, or easy to use, so that contributed to my mostly ignoring it besides putting up two [...]
