Playing Possum...

 

Shhhhhhhhhh...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the archives, November, 2012.

It's a...

 

Good Morning!!!

 

 

Surprise, Lily!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scrawney little pink tipped green stems open up to the world like this!

 

Greening...

 

 

The sea oats are greening up again.

There was a chorus of frogs in the marsh as I drove by,

praising the rain.

Summer's in full swing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

St. Augustine Beach.

Day for Night...

 

Heat lightening,

silent and beautiful.

Thunder followed, but no rain,

not the first night.

 

 

The rain came the second night,

finally.

 

 

 

 

 

The heat lightening looked a little like this, lighting up the clouds from within but with slashes of lightening bolts every now and then.

This shot was taken during the day, but darkened to look like night. 

 

Hot Shadows...

 

 

Shading the afternoon sun.

Still hot in the shade

Hammock  waits for evening breeze.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A dip in the ocean was just the ticket!

 

 

 

A Welcome Ordinariness

 

 

 

Friends, paddling along together through life's currents.

It's a calm evening and mild in between the storms and troubles.

There's peace and quiet and a kind of welcome ordinariness,

a rightness about things.

 

All's well.

The Color of Water...

 

Water, the most yielding and the strongest of nature's wonders,

is a chameleon.

 

 

Reflecting the sky, it is all kinds of blue.

(all the bumps in the shot are turtles!)

 

 

Looking down it takes on the color of the sand and leaves and turtles!

Happy Mistake...

 

 

Maybe my phone really is smarter than I am...

It took this photo when I wasn't looking.

Shower...

 

 

Shower the people you love with love...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forsythe Park, Savannah Georgia, song lyrics by James Taylor...show them the way that you feel...

 

 

 

 

Stormy Weather...

 

 

Storms coming through everyday now.

Good rain.

Wisdom, Strength, and All the Patience in the World...

If...

 

 

If fake flowers are this lovely in the sunshine,

well then, I don't know what!

 

The things that we humans can do...

 

 

 

 

Blue Sky

 

 

A new chair for the beach.

Ahhhhh.

A short walk.

Low tide, blue sky, and the lowering sun

shining across it all.

Lacy...

 

 

Something lacy and European in Savannah, or is it Hungarian?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angelic...

 

 

Stoned beauty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Savannah Georgia, outside the Mansion on Forsyth Park with an elegant restaurant and delicious lunch! (2015)

Savannah...

 

 

What says Savannah better than tree lined lanes with lots of Spanish Moss?

 

What I didn't realize was Savannah's role in liberating the 13 Colonies from the British.

They played a huge part in gaining our Independence.

Very interesting!
