PHOTO: Nature is coming alive

These juvenile anhingas were nesting very low on Sunday with an adult in the Audubon Swamp near some egret nests, contributing photographer Michael Kaynard writes. “This is THE time to see all the great birds nesting and feeding their chicks,” he writes. “ Some chicks are over a foot tall now.   I love the spring.  The world comes alive again.  It gives me hope for our future.” Photo by Michael Kaynard, KaynardPhotography.com.

LAST WEEK’S MYSTERY:  An old hand at identifying our mystery pictures, Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant, won last week’s contest by recognizing the Confederate Home on Broad Street in Charleston. “It provides modest rent to those who qualify and they still give out scholarships for college from their endowment,” he said. “ It was a home at one time for Confederate widows and orphans but has lived on well past this need to still be of significant benefit today.    The founders had great wisdom in creating such long-term benefit.”

Others who recognized the home were Doug MacIntyre of Charleston, whose grandmother once lived there as a teen-ager around 1905, and Jane Riley of Charleston. Thanks all.
