Photographer Robert Clark and I traveled over 30,000 miles in three states exploring and documenting the phenomenon known as Carolina bays. Due out in 2019 from the University of South Carolina Press, this book takes you inside bays in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. One of Earth’s more mysterious landforms, their origins yet unsolved, Carolina bays are rich with wildlife splendor and mystery.
Banks Lake, a Carolina bay near Valdosta, Georgia.
A colony of pitcher plants, a carnivorous plant that lures insects to their death down its long and deadly throat.
Dry Bay at Savannah River Site, a protected area with many Carolina bays.
Carolina bays are elliptical depressions oriented NW to SE, often with sand rims on their southeastern rims. Such traits led many to suppose that a meteor bombardment created them. No evidence supports the meteorite theory.
Jones Lake, a Carolina bay near Elizabethton, North Carolina.
Tom Poland : A Southern Writer 
Your collection of quotes, by other writers, speak to me. They are not hollow words, spoken by modern day buffoons. They are spoken with wit & wisdom.
Your collection of photographs, from your travels, speak to the heart of a girl raised in Georgia, who has always been smitten by the flora & fauna of the coastal area. Nothing breathes life into a person like nature herself. I look forward to your new book in 2019.
Did Henry Savage, of Camden, SC, write about Carolina Bays in his book about a river?
I’m looking at your beautiful book now.
I have started photographing the Bays mentioned in your book. Thank you for writing it. It made me realize the importance of preserving them.
Thank you. You are a wonderful bay preservation advocate.
