Rolling Stone Starting to Moss Over

Posted on 2020-12-202021-05-05 by Curtis Hertwig

So, my last trip to the Congaree National Park in South Carolina found me at a brand new Hilton Garden Inn in Columbia wherein only 3 staff members and virtually no guests wore masks. Food servers wore no masks, One evening the lobby/bar was filled with maskless real estate agents.

I said to myself, “Self! It is a small wonder that cases and deaths are soaring. People have stopped trying to flatten the curve.” And thus, I have quit traveling even by car.

Nonetheless, there has been lots of encouraging news recently; vaccines are rolling forward, and testing shows great promise for travelers.

I’m also finding that nature photography is rather difficult. Wild animals don’t sit still and pose, but I have bought a canoe so that I can paddle our wetlands to get closer, plus I have a daughter who lives down by the Everglades, so winter will not deter me.

So, in the new year I look forward to venturing south into the Everglades & renting a house close enough to my daughter that I can be a burden.

Enjoy these pictures that I’ve taken recently at Jekyll Island & the Okefenokee Swamp, etc.

    Really nice job here — especially during a pandemic. I’ve found it difficult to head out to shoot for similar reasons. People are too stubborn or stupid to don a mask. Ridiculous! The US must be the laughing stock of the world.

    Your photos nicely reflect our times. Compared to your international travel photos, they not only lack people they carry a different vibe — quietly observant, introspective, reflective. My bet is that many required great patience. Photography can require patience. So did this year. Your images are quintessentially 2020.

    Having already spent close to eight months in bed once with a then mysterious ailment, I wasn’t too keen on venturing much beyond the driveway. Kudos for you for stepping out!

    Here’s to a great 2021 for you and your family. Let us know if you venture north. We’ll have our masks on.

    Nice work!

    I love the birds especially! Thanks, Curtis, these are soothing images. Connie describes them well as reflections of the year of cultivating patience. Merry holidays! Kathy
