Vereen Memorial Nature Park

Hello & happy Tuesday!

I wish all that celebrate a Happy Boxing Day!


I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas, I cooked dinner for my hubby, son and his girlfriend. We had lots of yummy food and my homemade Derby pie and ice cream for dessert. Now we all have to recover from too much food.  I am sharing a park that hubby and visited a few times just across the North Carolina border in Little River South Carolina. It is called the Vereen Memorial Park or Vereen Nature Park. The park consist of 115 acres of forest and marshland.  Here are some scenes from our visits on Nov 5th and Nov 10th.

They have numerous hiking trails and boardwalks. The first day we went the tide was high and part of the trail was underwater. Hubby and I had to backtrack and we took the trail thru the woods and ended up again where the trail was under water.

Most of the birds we saw were the Great Blue Heron and Great Egrets and one Wood Stork.

I believe this is the Northern Bayberry, I have seen it growing in various coastal parks. The berries are enjoyed by many birds, I think I saw a few Yellow-rumped Warblers in these bushes.

The trail takes you up to the Little River and is a popular spot with the fishermen.

Here is a link to my first post on this park we visited with my sister Sunset beach & Vereen Nature Park

I hope you enjoyed our walk at the Vereen Memorial and Nature Park.

Sunset Beach, NC

Hello,

We split up our long drive home from Florida by stopping to see my sister's new home near Sunset Beach, North Carolina. While we were there for two nights we were able to visit the Sunset Beach and the Vereen Nature Park in Little River, NC.

The first two mosaic's are images of Sunset beach, North Carolina.

Top left photo is one of the turtle nest on the beach, fishing pier, pretty clouds and sky shots. 

 A group of Brown Pelican flying by.

The next two mosaics were from our visit to the Sunset Beach and the  Vereen Nature & Memorial Park located in Little River, North Carolina. I found a cute Sea Turtle sand sculpture and a Sanderling on the beach.

 Jet skis on the Little River.

While walking on the Vereen boardwalk trail we saw the Wood Stock, Great Egrets, Great Blue Heron and lots of Fiddler Crabs.

Some scenes from our walk on the trail at the nature park.

We happened to see this Wood Stork below fly in and land in a tree.

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos. Thanks for visiting and as always thank you for the nice comments.  Have a great day and new week ahead!

Here is my list of memes for the week, I hope you can check one or some of these fun memes and the participants post.
