Long Distance Goodbye
It’s taken me a year to edit this alligator picture, taken last summer in Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina, and it’s also time to bid both the park and the alligators a long distance goodbye.
I used to visit Huntington Beach when in South Carolina to see my mom, drawn to the park by the chance to see alligators. Now that she has moved to Texas, I won’t be visiting the park anymore — it’s not exactly an easy drive from Oregon— but if you’re in the area, I highly recommend it. Arrive when the gates open if possible, my favorite moments (and favorite pictures) nearly always occurred in the first hours of the day.
