by the trusty iPhone. We headed north with our clean car and stopped at the Georgia Information Center and there to my big surprise, in full bloom, were daffodils. Not sure how they did that since I'm not sure it gets cold enough but they were a delight to my eyes. I do miss spring.
We headed over to St Simons's Island first. There were cotton plantations in the early days of settlement and the mighty oaks that lined the main roads are still evident. Many show signs of their very old age but you can imagine what it must have been like. The island itself has some exclusive enclaves and big homes and lovely golf courses but mostly it just looks like most developed areas. 
We drove over a large dramatic bridge with views of the rivers and marshes that cover the intercoastal areas.
The we went to Jekyl Island. A smaller, more private area with a large historic district. In the early 1900's the wealthy wintered here in a large hotel (still operational) and in their 'cottages'. They have been preserved and restored. There are bike trails through out. The beach was lovely.
It was a good day.
Cool photos--especially the rainy window one. I just love the beach in winter. Okay, it's spring, but the beach still has that raw, desolate look that I love.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach pictures. The daffodils here are just starting to bloom, depending on how much sun you get. One clump of mine should be out by tomorrow. We went to the Newtown library yesterday and their huge bed by the side entry was in full bloom. Gorgeous!
