Lens Artists Photo Challenge #317 – Walking in the Neighborhood

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.

One day I strolled along Tybrisa Street on Tybee Island to capture the mural featured in the next gallery.

Many thanks to our host Tina for the challenge Lens-Artists #317 – Walking in the Neighborhood

Lens-Artists #123: Found in the Neighborhood

I don’t find trees showing off their fall colors in my neighborhood. Instead, I find evidence of fall when the marsh grass starts changing from green to brown.

My neighborhood is surrounded by salt water creeks and salt marsh. It’s a small, friendly neighborhood where most of the neighbors know each other and look out for each other. When we are driving down the road we wave at each other as we go by. When we are in our front yard, neighbors out for a walk stop to chat.

When the muhly grass turns pink, fall is here in coastal Georgia

I found more signs of fall a few weeks ago when the muhly grass in my yard displayed it’s brilliant pink.

Snowy Egret in the neighborhood

I find many birds in the neighborhood all year long. This week I found this Snowy Egret on our dock.
