\"\"<\/a>After attending the fish fry at Sumpter Health Clinic<\/a>, I decided to burn off the calories by taking a hike through Cypress Gardens<\/a>. \u00a0I’ve only been to Cypress Gardens once that I can recall. \u00a0It was for my senior prom. \u00a0I really didn’t spend any time hiking the trails or enjoying the butterfly gardens on that trip. \u00a0This time I wasn’t in a tuxedo, and I had my camera gear with me. \u00a0I started in the gift shop\/visitors center and quickly moved to the butterfly gardens. \u00a0After pausing for a second to wonder why there was a ‘don’t touch the duck’ sign on the door, I went in and started to take pictures of the many butterflies. \u00a0Eventually I found the duck and the other small birds in the butterfly gardens. \u00a0After touring the gardens and the other buildings in the gardens, I started to hike out on the main hiking path. \u00a0I passed a nice outdoor chapel, tons of cypress trees, \u00a0and more than one swamp\/marsh. \u00a0It was a nice hike and the weather was great. \u00a0I got several nice pictures and nearly jumped out of my skin more than once from the random animals scurrying in the bushes.<\/p>\n

On a related note, the third Saturday of each month is free admission day for Berkeley County residents. \u00a0You need to get their before noon though. \u00a0I encourage you all to go out and enjoy the gardens.<\/p>\n

I’ve attached the first few pictures from my gallery. \u00a0The link for the entire smugmug gallery is at the bottom of the post. \u00a0There should be over 70 pictures for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n
