Stalking the Marsh

 



Stalking the Marsh

The  coastal salt marsh of the South Carolina Low Country, is the birth place of much of the ocean's life. It's also home to many who feed on the creatures that are born, and live there. The magnificent herons, and their kin, are a constant presence-stalking the marsh.

Drumlin
Down the side road, by the corn maze, there is an odd little hill, glacial remnant, Drumlin.

Hamilton Rd Undulations

Hamilton Rd Undulations
I drive past this vista regularly, there’s a rutted farm track that goes through the fields and the land tells tales of retreating glacial flood waters, followed by forests then farms. These fields are zoned industrial use, one by one they’re disappearing under concrete and asphalt.

Into The Distance


Into The Distance
Some times the fields seem to go on as far as the eye can see, an illusion of straight fence lines, and undulating land.

Transitions


Transitions

I'm fascinated by the spaces between. Little bits of wild, left behind by the plough, too rough or inconvenient for the ploughman, but loved by the wildlings.

Centre Line





Early in the year, the cover crop is ploughed under, the fertile land is ready for seed.

Donnybrook Green and Gold



Not far off the beaten track of the 401 super highway, a rural road winds past farmsteads and villages, a welcome respite from the city that nibbles at the lands around it. Veracious in it's appetite, will it snatch these lands into it's maw as so many already devoured?

Corn As High As An Elephants Eye



On a hot summer day, as we wind our way down country roads a line from an old musical keeps running through our mind...

Hamilton Rd Pump House



A remnant of rural life, surrounded by developing subdivisions, safe only until it becomes worth the work of flattening the rolling landscape.  I record it while I can.

Corn and Beans


Corn and Beans, behind the farm market, rolling hills cloaked in crops, undulate their way toward a sugar bush, both productive and beautiful. Glazed acrylic on cradled wooden panel, ready to hang

Don's Dang Hill

Recorded on a hot summer day, Don's hill, was an anomaly, a steep drop into what may have once been the bed of a rushing glacial river, long gone, and now permanently erased to make way for a "better" road.
