Our previous Mystery Photo: Our April 29 mystery, “Green art,” came from longtime photographer and reader Charles Boyd of Hanahan, who spied the topiary in Walterboro near a body shop. It wasn’t, as many guessed, in Bishopville where artist Pearl Fryar has a world-renowned field of carved shrubs and trees.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our April 8 mystery, “This mystery may be too tough” was a beach scene sent in by Hanahan reader Chuck Boyd. And it was pretty tough as only two people guessed correctly that it was a sign on the Folly Beach fishing pier pointing to an artificial reef.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our March 25 mystery, “Not for climbing purposes,” got two kinds of guesses. Some folks thought the pink and gray elephants were at South of the Border near Dillon on Interstate 95. Great guess. Unfortunately, they were wrong – although a pink elephant really is the kind of thing that should be at the attraction. Others correctly guessed Papa Joe’s Fireworks in Hardeeville near the other end of the interstate (exit 5) in South Carolina.
