Last week’s mystery, “Looking up,” is one that should make people in Charleston kick themselves. Sure, it’s an odd viewpoint … but it’s something people have been watching for months — part of the new Sergeant Jasper — now called The Jasper — on the lower end of Broad Street near the Coast Guard station.
Staff reports | With a flash point of the May 4 election on Sullivan’s Island being the future of a maritime forest, here’s a look at nature’s diversity that can be found, day in, day out. (More: 4/19: Maritime forest looms large over Sullivan’s Island election.)
“People think of the maritime forest as being just the tall trees, but maritime forests are successional, starting with sea oats and flowers and then shrub thickets, filled with myrtles, which lay down soil and protect tree saplings,” said Karen Byko, a resident fighting to protect the forest. “The last part of the forest to evolve are stands of tall trees. Throughout, the Sullivan’s Island Maritime Forest is filled with wetlands.”
Enjoy these photos by Byko and her husband, Realtor Rob Byko, who serves as our contributing photographer.

Staff reports | There couldn’t have been much more of a perfect day than a Sunday day trip to Brookgreen Gardens in Georgetown County. The temperature was mild. Humidity wasn’t anywhere around. And the sun shined a penetrating light on scores of statuaries and thousands of flowers that filled the attraction.
Brookgreen Gardens, known as one of the world’s finest outdoor museums of American figurative sculpture, has a stunning collection of more than 2,700 works by 425 artists.
Take a look at some photos below from the Easter visit. Brookgreen Gardens is about an hour and a half from downtown Charleston. The ticket price is affordable — $18 per adult — and good for seven days.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Last week’s mystery, “Few clues to this stumper,” got three answers, only two of which were correct. The two sleuths, Justin White of James Island and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, came up with the answer in two different ways. White said recognized the location, which was between 1572 and 1574 E. Ashley Ave on Folly Beach “because my boat hit oyster shells there at low tide.”
