Thought I was done with the Boneyard Beach photos?
.

.
Almost…
.

.
I promise.
.

.
But who could resist framing their spouse in driftwood?
.

.
Making our way back to the path, I snapped my last photos.
.

.

.

.
And my husband joined in the odd shell placement tradition…
.

.
Trying to balance one on the sign.
.

.
Success.
.

.
Exiting through the marsh …
.

.
We climbed back in the ungodly expensive rental behemoth…
.

.
Of which my husband had become entirely too enamored.
It was late afternoon of our last day of vacation so we took a leisurely drive around Edisto Island and enjoyed some of its quirks.
.

.
No one knows who erected this odd marsh angel but apparently she changes with the seasons and has become a local favorite.
.

.
This is the only acceptable answer to the question what do I do with dead palm tree stumps?
Hula girls, that’s what.
.

.
We drove past this native while on the main beach road.
.

.
It was a wonderful sight so I made my husband turn around and circle by him twice to ensure decent photos.
.

.
A poo covered jacket seems a small price to pay for such a beautiful friend.
.

.
This bottle display is an old Gullah way of driving out evil spirits. They have to be blue, but sorry… for the life of me I don’t remember why. The Clemson tiger paw is a modern addition.
.

.
Remember the herd of tiny deer we saw every night? I wondered where they could possibly live in so busy an area…
.

.
The answer was our resort’s golf course.
.

.
Where they clearly didn’t read the sign.
😉
.
That quirk definitely has a regional twist!

I love a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

That was interesting. Thanks!

Oh those blue bottle trees, love them. The blue is because apparently blue attracts evils spirits and traps them in the bottles. I just love the color to be honest. I’m not sure I’d be okay with a poo covered jacket, but the friend looks like he could care less….lol.

It was so funny. The bird just sat on his shoulder and enjoyed the ride.

My porch has a haint blue ceiling ant it would seem to be effective. I don’t believe in evil spirits but I do believe in wasps and I haven’t seen one on the porch in quite some time. Cathy has been campaigning for a bottle tree and the push will begin in earnest when she gets a look at your pics.

That was cute. It looks like the Deer were reading the sign as you took the picture.

Never thought I’d yearn for dead tree stumps in the yard, but I kinda do all of a sudden.
