I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE FOUR BLUEBIRD BABIES THIS YEAR. IT WAS AMAZING THE PHOTOS I WAS ABLE TO GET OF BOTH PARENTS AND THE LITTLE ONES. IT IS VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE BLUEBIRDS FEED THEIR YOUNG. HARD TO BELIEVE SOMETHING SO TINY COULD EAT A LARGE LIZARD : ). YOUR PICTURES MADE ME MISS THEM.

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources - Words cannot do the view at Jumping Off Rock justice. Photographs, as stunning as they may be, also do not suffice. This truly is one of those extraordinary places that you have to see to believe. Jumping Off Rock is also not an easy place to get to, so the view may be all the more appreciated for the effort that it takes to get there. Photos Nov. 4, 2009.

You guys did an excellent job with the new Jumping Off Rock viewing area - thank you! Access to the Foothills Trail and the Eastatoe Creek Heritage Preserve can also be found along the first part of Horsepasture Rd. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you guys do the new trail to The Narrows!
