I stopped here for awhile on my way from Charleston down to St. Augustine. I wanted to see if there was still a good sized shrimp fleet in the Darien River, but as I wandered, I discovered other gems in this sleepy little southern town. It has quite a history, and I spent some time at the Fort King George State Historic Site, which is very well reconstructed and beautifully maintained. Wandering through the neighborhoods, I stumbled into Vernon Square, a beautiful park with a fountain and graceful old oaks, surrounded by historic churches and quaint bed and breakfasts. I need to go back and photograph in softer light to do justice to the town of Darien.
