Reflection

I didn't notice how I had captured the reflection of the clouds in the water until after I'd uploaded the photo to my computer. I really like this shot.

Little Ogeechee River

Back in late June when I first headed out to start using my then-new digital camera, this is one of the first pictures I tried to take but because it was on an overpass that was even heavily traveled at 5-something in the morning, it was my birthday and I didn't feel like dying on my birthday, I gave up the effort!

I think a photographer's passion really shines through when they will do anything to get a shot. Not that I claim to be a photographer or a good one at that, but I did take this shot through the driver's side window while driving which, of course, I don't recommend anyone doing because it scared the crap outta' me!

A pretty fruit, not so pretty on taste

This pretty little fruit comes from a Pindo Palm and are called Pindo Dates in my part of the south. In other parts of the south, like in Florida, the tree is known as the Jelly Palm. The Pindo Palm I've linked to is not mine although it appears the dimensions of the pictured palm and the one in my backyard are fairly similar except I can't get a good shot of it at the present time for obvious reasons.

While the fruit is attractive to look at, that's pretty much all it has going for it! It is juicy and tender but tastes like poison! I know some people enjoy them, but it's definitely an acquired taste! It would probably make an interesting-tasting pie but I think I'll stick with apple!

Another view

Here is another view of the Tybee Lighthouse. I couldn't tell which one I liked better. In this one, I liked the contrast of the color of the clouds against the darker backdrop of the sky. It was also taken from the beach whereas the earlier photo was taken directly in front of it as I was driving by. Your thoughts?

Tybee Island Lighthouse

Tybee Island is the place to go around here for sun and fun. Some of the beach front properties are gorgeous. And so is the lighthouse.

Up, up and Away

I've bungee-jumped. I've gone sky diving. But I'm a little afraid to try parasailing! Go figure!

Click on the photo to enlarge it. It's really beautiful!

Golden Delicious

Anyone who lives in the south knows how difficult it is to grow fruit trees of any kind. Unless you're some big Florida orange juice corporation who has the know-how and the man power to keep their product alive, no matter what the cost.

I was kind of surprised to see this apple tree in someone's front yard.


I wish the people who owned this tree would take better care of it or at least pick the fruit before it goes rotten because it should be loved and cherished and there were very few apples that weren't rotting away. I can think of many places who would want the apples if they don't want the fruit like donating them to the food bank here in town or even a local horse stable - everyone knows horse's love apples!

On the lagoon

I love scenes like this! I can visualize two people lazily drifting on the lagoon, enjoying peaceful time together.
