Lens Artists Photo Challenge #345 – My Go-To Places

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , , ,

John of Journeys with JohnBo asks us to share the places we go when we are feeling down and need to take a break.

My favorite go-to place is at home. When I am home I like to see the sky at sunrise or just sit on my back porch overlooking my back yard and the salt marsh.

My day gets off to a beautiful start when I catch the sunrise from my own backyard.

Sometimes I see birds like this Great Egret

I like to take a walk in my neighborhood which is surrounded by salt marsh and salt water creeks with palm trees, palmettos, and Spanish Moss draped live oak trees creating a peaceful landscape.

The beach is my happy place. If I want to go to the beach there are four barrier islands in coastal Georgia that can be reached by car. There are numerous uninhabited small barrier islands that can be reached by small boats and others that can be reached by ferry.

In January we spent two nights on Jekyll Island where we enjoyed the quiet beaches.
Sapelo Island is one of the Georgia islands that can be reached by ferry.

We no longer have a boat but I have fond memories of how peaceful it was to ride through the nearby creeks and rivers.

  1. What a dreamy mix of sunrise skies, porch peace, and coastal charm! Your home is like nature’s own retreat—salt marsh melodies, Spanish moss whispers, and beachside bliss. Honestly, who needs a boat when the memories still sail so beautifully?.

  6. We’ve only touched the surface in visiting some of the places along the Georgia coast. I see you’ve found a beautiful place to “go-to”. I love that sunrise photo with the Adirondack chair. What a lovely place to sit, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the morning.

  8. Have to agree, Beth. Pretty hard to beat! You are lucky to relocated where you are. It’s a lot like where Peggy and I lived in Oregon although our place featured a river, national forest and mountains.

  13. As usual Beth, much of your world looks like mine but I love your sunrise view (although I will admit I don’t see many sunrises LOL). Your world is really beautiful and I love the relaxing spots you’ve incorporated. Wonderful post!!

    1. Lindy, I agree. There’s no better place than being on the water. I was sad to sell our boat but I am so grateful for all the wonderful days we spent riding through the creeks and rivers.
