Huntington Beach State Park South Carolina March 2019

Sue and I were joined by three other couples from the North Georgia Photography Club on a trip to the South Carolina beach at the end of Feb and beginning of March. We spent one day at the state park with the birds, and a second day at Brookgreen Gardens across the road. Part of the state park includes the house where the Huntingtons lived and Anna Huntington did a lot of her sculptures.

Diana of the hunt, I think

Just a nice view, in my opinion. Difficult exposure with some adjustments in software
