  3. Bella and Heidi... come on down.

    Punch... a visual break, they are so necessary. We tend to forget about giving our eyes a rest from all of the pollution facing them each minute of every day.

  4. Lovely. But now that you've posted it there will be throngs of pallid, plaid-pantsed pedestrians plaguing the place.

  5. Pat... you must have posted at the same time as me. It better be early because by about 8:30 getting unbearably hot!

    Intelli... if only my following was so large, and all lived near here, or planned to vacation here, and were pallid, plaid, pedestrians... oh, and one more point. It's about a mile walk down to it. About the only people you see there are fishermen and those wanting to lay out naked.

  7. Makes me homesick, C. BTW, I am sure you are tuned totally into the flora, fauna and ocean, correct?

  8. So what is all the black stuff in the third picture?

  9. Totally tuned in JJ including photos of my sidekick Skeeter which I excluded 'cause it's against the rules to have dogs on the beach. A good reason to go at sunrise.

    Andrew... the black stuff is clay. The area is known as black rocks. It's hard clay exposed through erosion. You can see that the shore is slowly eroding by the fallen trees. Just part of the ever shifting shoreline. But the dark brown clay provides a great contrast to the white powder sand. The shore where these shots were taken doesn't actually face the ocean but a sound, Nassau Sound to be exact. Where the Nassau River meets the ocean. It's a lovely spot.

  10. Stunningly beautiful! Never even heard of this state park, and you have now given me reason to adventure here sometime later this year. Thank you.

  12. Gropius... this is just one of several such places here in Baja Ga. If you've never been to the Okefenokee swamp, that is a must do.

  14. Beautiful photos. Nothing like the beach without a lot of asphalt and condos.
