Every Day is a Gift!
I love seeing this flag beside U. S. Highway 80 when I travel between Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia. The flag was placed there by a friend of mine on September 11, 2001. He and others have been maintaining it ever since.

Sylvia asks us to show what spring means to us.
To me, spring doesn’t begin on a specific date on the calendar. For me, it is spring in Coastal Georgia when the azaleas and Dogwoods are blooming, when there is new growth in the garden, and when the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations begin in Savannah and Tybee Island.
To me, spring also means working in the garden beds and watching birds at the bird feeder.
Sometimes we like to travel in the spring. The next images show some of my favorite spring blooms from our travels.
Many thanks to for Sylvia for this challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #241 – Spring
Today is the 10th anniversary of my first post on this Wandering Dawgs blog. I started the blog as a way to document our 4 month RV journey from Georgia to Alaska and back. In the beginning, the only people who read my posts were friends and family.
My second post wasn’t until May 17, 2013 when I posted First Day on the Road to Alaska. It was the first of many posts from our Alaska adventure.
I was surprised when bloggers who were total strangers started reading, liking, and commenting on my posts. Most of them were fellow RV’ers who shared their RV adventures, tips, and favorite places to camp. Some of them became blogging friends.
After we returned home from Alaska I continued blogging. At first I focused just on our RV travels. Eventually I branched out to other topics, participated in many photo challenges, posted about home in Coastal Georgia, my garden, and random other things. I continued to get more followers and I made blogging friends from all over the world. These days, I enjoy participating in the Lens-Artists photo challenges as a way to improve my photography skills and meet even more interesting bloggers.
I am grateful for everyone who visits this blog, for everyone who takes the time to like and to comment on posts. I am grateful for this wonderful blogging community and for my many “blogging friends”.
The gallery below highlights some of the most popular posts through the years.
There have been times when I can’t think of anything to post and I consider ending the blog. And then other times I realize how much I enjoy sharing my thoughts and photos with all of you and how much I appreciate all of you. I’ve just renewed Wandering Dawgs for another year!
Many thanks to John for this challenge and for mentioning my WanderingDawgs blog in his post. He asks: “For this week’s challenge, I want you to think of your favorite type or style of photography as the road you’ve chosen to take most often.”
I enjoy many types of photography but I my favorite is nature photography.
Many thanks to for John for his challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #240 – The Road (most often) Taken
Tina’s challenge is Finding Peace.
I find peace in nature – a beautiful morning sky, bird watching, spring flowers, walking in the woods, seeing wildlife in their natural habitat, or the beach.
Many thanks to Tina for her challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #239 – Finding Peace
