It’s Anne’s turn to lead us in the challenge. She explains the challenge like this: “I encourage you to take the block less traveled—with your camera. Look around, and using your imagination, what do you see? Please keep this to the same walk and the same block—that’s the challenge.”
I’m so grateful for Anne’s challenge this week. My husband and I needed to get out of the house after both being sick with the flu. Anne inspired me to grab my camera and go for a walk looking for things to photograph. I didn’t really walk around a block or turn a corner but I did have fun.
The beach is my happy place so on Sunday we drove to the Tybee Island Pier and Pavillion to see the ocean and breathe the fresh salt air. The pier is a great place to view the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. It can get crowded in the summer but on a chilly January day there were only a few others on the pier and on the beach.
One of the things I like about walking on the pier is the great view of the beach. In the following gallery, from left to right, is the view looking south, the view looking north, looking down at footprints in the sand, and looking at our shadows in the sand.
There are always pigeons hoping for a handout.
You never know what you’ll find that someone left behind. Henry spotting this fishing fly laying on the boards. He picked it up and put it up where no one could step on it.
On our way home after our walk we drove to the Sugar Shack for an ice cream cone. Technically it wasn’t part of our walk but we did turn a corner in our car to get there. Sorry, I was too busy enjoying my Blue Bell salted caramel brownie cone to take a picture.
Thank you to everyone who participated in last weeks favorite images from 2025. I enjoyed seeing all your favorites from the year.
We hope you will join us in responding to Anne’s fun challenge. If you do be sure to use the Lens-Artists tag in your post and include a link to Anne’s Lens-Artists #380 What’s around the Corner.

Beth, your post reminded me of our stays for the winter on the east coast. The cool air and small number of beach walkers resonated with me in your photos.

Thanks John. Years ago only the locals would be on Tybee in the winter. It’s still less crowded but a few snowbirds have discovered it.

I’m so glad you two got out after being sick. Judging from your beautiful pictures, your outing was just what the doctor would have ordered. And that ice cream cone–just the right medicine!

Anne, we picked a great day to go. The weather has gotten colder since then. I wish I had taken a picture of the ice cream cone! Again, thanks for inspiring me to get out and take some pictures.

There is nothing like the beach for fresh air and healing up. It is extra with a camera and a nice day. And lasted caramel brownie sounds like a great choice. Yum.
