June 2019 Hilton Head Plantation
Our last Field Trip of the season on June 14 was delightful, under very pleasant weather and we did not have to drive too far.

May 2019 Sea Pines Plantation
On May 1 our Camera Club had a beautiful day at Sea Pines Plantation. Since John Parsons resides and is involved in the community there, he was able to provide us with lots of valuable information. We took photos of Oak Trees from 1635. From there went to Harbour Town. Land’s End Marina was followed by lunch. Rich and Diane Daley garden, Lawton Stables with farm critters, Cemetery of Slaves and the Stoney-Baynard Tabby ruins balanced the rest of the day. It was a very busy and productive outing.
