The British Are Coming!
Today, MUC and I went to Savannah River Bluffs Heritage Preserve to plant our part of the Great Atlas Quest Letterbox Exchange '07 (GAQLBE07). We were lucky enough to be paired with a British boxer, UKUSA, and decided to exchange wild bird images as a series. So, MUC and I trekked out and planted in this little hidden gem of a perserve. While we were there, we ran across some of the protected flora in this preserve.
The pictures are of some type of wild lillies (I think rocky shoals spider lilies) which were in bloom while we were there. These weren't the only ones. There was a multitude of bloom about.
I'm not sure about the purple one, but I believe the white flowers are False Rue Anemone, also part of the rare/endangered flora in the area. After a while, MUC got really irritated with me stopping to take pictures of flowers every 30 seconds, so we hiked out of the riverbed. On the way out, we had to cross a powerline easement, where there was a little wooden footbridge.
This is where we saw our only natural fauna of the day.
Today was also a big day for MUC. He officially hit the 100 mark on AQ. We keep records of our own and have him at a few over 100, but as we can't log unlisted finds for him yet, those don't 'count'. Now Greyson has his red ribbon for 100. His response to that was: "I need to get some more!"
