Kayaking in sparkleberry Swamp

Kayaking in a swamp on the north-west end of Lake Marion in South Carolina. This was one of our favorite nature spots, only a couple hours from our place near Greenville. Pretty much any time of year this area was worth a paddle. Summers could be a little too hot, but spring and fall were great times to look for owls, osprey, ibis, herons and even a pair of limpkin. The alligators and turtles were abundant, and the scenery was just out of this world.
