Live oaks with spanish moss on Jekyll Island, Georgia

Sunset, God's watercolor in the sky.

Grand Lake, CO at sunset, looking over the lake from Shadowcliff.

This was taken at sunset in Grand Lake, Colorado. This town is covered in snow in the winter but summer comes alive with boaters, hikers, etc. It is right next to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is a beautiful place.

For SkyWatch Friday, have a wonderful weekend. Take care of each other.

Watery Wednesday

These beach scenes are at St. George Island in Florida. A beautiful island with a terrific state park at the end. Very pristine.

There is nothing like the beach. Feel the breeze, smell the salty air, the sound of the waves crashing. Yummy. Sometimes I just want to go for a day and walk. The sounds also are soothing. Takes all your troubles away. The Atlantic is very different from the Gulf. They both have something special. I like the blue water and white sand at the Gulf. The Atlantic usually has flatter and wider beaches. Of course there is the marsh. All those beautiful colors of green. Fields and fields of marsh and water. Lots of bird life. What a joy to be at the beach.

A good night in Georgia

Just started raining here in Georgia. Temperature is in the 80s. Nice and windly there for a while. No thunder or lightening. Took some pictures of the sky and in one of them is my Crepe Myrtle. It has gotten really big and started to develop blooms for the summer. This is a white one which is my favorite.

Well the rain has stopped. It took forever to upload my pics.

When I was a kid I loved the wind, thunder, and lightening. A storm made me feel so good. I have never been in a hurricane or a tornado and I have never been struck by lightening. I have never been afraid of storms. When I lived at home I would walk outside under the carport and just close my eyes and feel the wind. I have never been in a flood either but my house is in a flood plain. It was built before the law went into effect. I did wake up off and on one night when the creek in the back was overflowing. I kept looking out the window to make sure it never came to the house. I do not know what I could have done but I was watching it nonetheless. I think energy is built up when a storm starts. That energy must make me feel regenerated. I don't know. Any comments. Have a good evening.
