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

April 24, 2025Posted in PhotographyTagged beach, Coastal Georgia, Lens-Artists, My Go To Places, ocean, Photo Challenge, salt marsh35 Comments

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.

*Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean on Tybee Island, Georgia, the closest beach to my home.*

*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.

*Slow boat ride through the coastal Georgia salt water marsh*

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #324 – In the Details

November 15, 2024Posted in PhotographyTagged beach, beach walk, Container Ship, In the Details, Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge, seashells16 Comments

Patti’s challenge: “Choose a subject (a statue, a person, a place, street art, etc.) and take a series of photos about your subject. Get closer and closer to the subject, focusing on a particular detail(s). Vary your shots by changing your perspective or angle of shooting or even your lens. Post three photos of your subject. Feel free to shoot another series on a second subject.”

I went for a walk on Tybee Island’s north beach looking for inspiration for this challenge. It’s my favorite place to walk and there is always something interesting to see there.

Container ships in the shipping channel are a common sight from the beach. The container ship in the header photo was sailing out to Atlantic Ocean after leaving the port of Savannah.

I zoomed in for a closer look and discovered a flock of birds at the water’s edge.

I zoomed in further to see the details of the containers on the ship.

Another common sight at the beach is seashells that have washed ashore.

Most of the shells have been broken by the wave action.

I zoomed in for a closer look at the shells.

I zoomed in even closer to see the details of the shells.

Many thanks to our host Patti for the challenge Lens-Artists #324 – In the Details

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #317 – Walking in the Neighborhood

September 26, 2024September 26, 2024Posted in Nature, PhotographyTagged beach, Lens-Artists, marsh hammock, Neighborhood, Photo Challenge, salt marsh, walk, walking in the neighborhood33 Comments

Tina is our host for the latest challenge. In her post she took us on a walk around her beautiful neighborhood and has challenged us to share a walk around our neighborhood.

There are only two streets in my small neighborhood in coastal Georgia. We are surrounded by salt water creeks and salt marsh. Some days I like to walk around the neighborhood but when I want to take a walk on the beach I take a 10 minute drive to the nearest beach access.

The road to our neighborhood goes by the pond shown in the header image. I love to see the marsh, creeks and wildflowers whenever I .go for a walk around my neighborhood.

Fall is one of my favorite times of year to go to the beach. The beaches are often crowded in the summer so I usually do my beach walking after most of the visitors are gone. The next gallery shows scenes from my most recent beach walks.
