Taken at a local gas station, the photo captures a small bird in the midst of eating a large mantis for lunch. The bird subdued the fighting insect in about 30 seconds before violently picking it apart.

Second stop on our dual destination beach trip. After walking through the town in the evening, hitting up the waterfront for some to-go drinks, we stayed at the Planters Inn.

Went down to Charleston for the weekend to participate in the Cooper River Bridge Run. We walked the 10k road race, finishing it in just under 2 hours. At that pace however, 90% of the participants finished before we did. Oh, well.... [view-the-gallery galleryaddress="BridgeRun09"]
