More Salt Marsh Pictures

September 11, 2025 This was taken from the M. E. Thompson Memorial Bridge as we headed into Brunswick. Jekyll Island is on the right of Jekyll Creek. I managed to take some pictures of the salt marshes from the Sidney Lanier Bridge as Bruce was driving over it. Once over the Sidney Lanier Bridge, I […]

A Short Walk Through the Live Oaks on Jekyll Island

September 11, 2025 I had hoped to buy a sea glass ball from the shops in the Historic District on Jekyll Island. The shops didn’t have any sea glass balls that I wanted. The walk underneath the live oaks was worth going to the Historic District.

Beach Scenes From Jekyll Island

September 11, 2025 I love walking along the beach at Jekyll Island. There were Gulf Fritillary butterflies on flowers growing on the dunes. (The Donald Fagen song “On the Dunes” just started playing in my head.) The pelicans flew in formation on their way home for the evening. As we walked down the beach, we […]

Watching Birds on the Beach

September 8, 2025 On September 1 (Monday), we took advantage of the beautiful day to walk down to the beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Windy Beach Visit

September 8, 2025 On August 31 (Sunday), we took a sunset walk on the beach. The beach on Jekyll Island faces east, so the sunset is over the island.

Wheeler dam and Wheeler State Park aren’t very far from our new house. There is a parking lot above the locks, with a picnic table and grassy area. There is […]

Time at Jekyll Island, Georgia

June 3, 2024 While we were at Jekyll Island (May 1 to May 15), all of my father-in-law’s children and spouses came for his 90th birthday. Almost all of his grandchildren (just one couldn’t make it) made it and all of the great-grandchildren made it. Nox was delighted to see our daughter. My daughter misses […]

Campfire and Hotdogs and Marshmallows Cooked Over the Coals

June 1, 2024 On April 29, we decided to sit outside and have a campfire in the lovely weather. Bruce got the campfire going. We enjoyed watching it while we sat in our camp chairs listening to the sound of the cicadas. Our next door neighbors had hitched up their RV and headed home, so […]
