Myrtle Beach State Park


Today at lunch  I drove to Myrtle Beach State Park which is just 3 miles from my office.  I have been to Huntington  Beach State Park several times and enjoyed the trails and the especially the birds. I saw my first American Eagle there, stealing fish from an Osprey. The perfect bird to be the symbol of our great thieving nation.  But Huntington is a short distance farther down the road, and my goal was to find someplace where I could go and eat my lunch, do some birdwatching or botanical research, fly a kite, etc.. and still have plenty of time to get back to work in close to an hour.  MBSP is actually quite nice, with lots of large old live oaks and a few trails. There is also a pier, but I didn't have time for that today. I went a short distance down the Sculptured Oak Trail, and while I didn't make it to the sculptured oaks, I did see some nice Beautybush, Yaupon, and Partridgeberry to name a few.

I've been seeing some Partridgeberry down at Southeast Park and some out at Peachtree Rock. Hopefully those berries will stay with us during the Winter. Nice photo. Glad you got a glimpse of the symbol of our corporate greed and ultimate downfall.
