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!

Rainbow in the Sky

There's something very magical about kites.

Patrick Print

For those of us who have children or grandchildren, I thought you'd get a kick outta' this one!

I thought you'd be able to see it better if I rotated the photo so that it's upside down. Put a pair of flowered shorts on that little starfish there and it's totally Patrick from Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants TV show!

It was truly amazing how many starfish were on this one section of beach. Unfortunately, some had even buried themselves in the wet sand and some were so tiny, that people had trampled on them.

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!

Magnolia

With all my photos, if you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see more detail.

Consumed

For those of you who read my other blog, you may have noticed that I briefly mentioned the house fire that occurred in my neighborhood yesterday. My son and I scoped out the area this morning and this is what we saw...

It appears the fire started in the garage. According to my son's keen observation, the car was most likely the cause and was probably removed from the garage after the blaze was controlled.

The roof is gone and the house is destroyed. These poor people have lost everything. My son and I saw the homeowners this afternoon and they left with one garbage bag full of belongings that they were able to salvage. Such ashame.

Ironically, the only things that did survive were a few flowered plants outside the house.

I'm willing to bet that the frequent rain we've been having lately kept the pine trees surrounding the house moist enough that the fire fighters were able to contain the fire to just that house. I'm sure the neighbors are very thankful right now! Of course the one day it didn't rain in the past month was yesterday, when the fire happened.
