Home now from my latest adventure. Spent the last day in coastal South Carolina, in a place that looked like this.
As much I love how live oaks and Spanish moss look, I have to tell you that doing archaeology in these palmetto thickets is no picnic, even if you can forget about the snakes. But what an adventure this was.

Ahh, a classic southern landscape - picturesque trees, wet and boggy ground, unbearable heat and humidity, biting and stinging insects everywhere, dangerous wildlife, and lots of poisonous or prickly plants to leave you scratched and itching.
At least it's December, so presumably the temperature dipped a bit into a somewhat comfortable range.
I've always appreciated Spanish Moss (neither Spanish nor moss) hanging from trees. Associate it with the South and tranquility.

YES! It's home! (Wrote Michael from coastal Georgia....)
And the high here yesterday was 79.
