Reed Bingham State Park in the Spring!


We've found so many wonderful State Parks this past year and now we are starting to travel back to our favorites!


When we camped here last December there were still Fall leaves on the trees which is not unusual for the South.


And even though we stayed in the same camp site, look at the difference a season change can make.

The tree that had been orange with color was just sporting it's Spring green leaves.


We arrived on a Sunday and the lake was buzzing! 


Doesn't it look like these Canada Geese are watching the boats fly by?


I spotted a Red Admiral butterfly on this first visit to the lake and didn't get good photos.


Of course I had hoped I would see it again but I never did.


I did get to see the Canada Geese every day I hiked.


And I walked by this Wisteria in full bloom every day too. The bees and butterflies love it!


It has a very sweet scent too!


The hillside was covered in small yellow flowers.


This is it up close.

We spent a week at Reed Bingham so I'll have more photos to share. (before we go again)


Spring time is a perfect time to camp! Do you have Spring flowers in bloom too?

And since the weather is still very Spring like, we are taking off on another camping trip. I'll be away from my computer for a couple of weeks but I'll have photos to share when I get back. Have a beautiful Spring!

...after college our oldest daughter taught school in South Carolina. One spring she called to tell me about these huge trees with purple flowers! Wisteria is beautiful, it can be a flowering kudzu. Have an Awesome April weekend.

I can just smell the wisteria.
I always say if you wait until December, you will see fall colors in Florida. By that time people have usually moved onto Christmas and miss the beauty. Looks like a very nice place to camp.

Wisteria gets me every time. I cannot grow it -- and I think it's one of the most beautiful of blooms.

Dear Diane, I hope you arrived safely in May and are enjoying it very much. Your spring photos from Reed Bingham State Park are beautiful. Wisterias are truly wonderful-smelling plants – there's one growing in my friend Helga's garden, which we visited today, that smells wonderful. The photos with the Canada geese in the lake look very idyllic. Unfortunately, butterflies are often very uncooperative – I think you at least managed to make the Red Admiral recognizable in the photo. I don't always manage that.
Have more wonderful camping days!
All the best, Traude
