James Island, South Carolina – Black Eyed Susans

This picture taken on James Island shows a colorful blanket of Black Eyed Susans (Coreopsis). It was photographed in May 2006 by Janelle Dawsey of Charleston.

Janelle describes her photo for us: "This picture was taken on Mother's Day 2006. My mom and I were driving through the neighborhood where she grew up on James Island when we came across a powerline that was just covered with these beautiful Black Eyed Susans. I pulled over and went nuts snapping pictures – I think I took about sixty! But this one is my favorite because the close-up really shows just how gorgeous these flowers were!"
