Every Day is a Gift!
Terri’s color challenge of the month is Yellow and burnt orange. My garden is filled with these colors this time of year.

Terri’s challenge is to explore things Under Construction.
It seems like wherever we travel we get held up by road construction along the way. During our RV travels around Alaska several years ago we were often held up by a construction crew. The featured image is of a crew working on the Dalton Highway north of Fairbanks.
One year we visited Rocky Mountain National Park in late May. We were hoping to drive on the Trail Ridge Road but it was closed for snow removal at Rainbow Curve.
A few years ago there was a beach re-nourishment project on Tybee Island, Georgia. We went out one day to watch these big bulldozers moving the sand.
Many thanks to Terri for her Sunday Stills challenge Under Construction

Terri’s theme for this challenge is Trees. She asks us to share any kind of trees and be creative with the simple prompt. I am going to focus on three types of trees we see all around us in Coastal and South Georgia.
My featured image is a mixture of Live Oak trees and palm trees in our neighborhood. The first image in the below gallery is a Maritime Forest on Jekyll Island. The other two are Live Oak trees draped with Spanish Moss.
Cabbage Palms, also known as a Sabal Palmetto, is the only palm tree native to Georgia.
The final gallery shows Cypress trees in the Okefenokee Swamp in south Georgia.
Many thanks to Terri for her Sunday Stills challenge All the trees in the field

Terri’s latest Sunday Stills challenge of Feathers inspired me to get out and take a few bird photos early yesterday morning. The featured image was taken in January on Jeklyll Island, Georgia. The rest were taken yesterday.

Terri’s latest Sunday Stills challenge focuses on water safety. Her challenge is to show fun things in and around the water.
I love being in, on, or close to water. I’m a former lifeguard and scuba diver. I love boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, or just floating in the water. My favorite form of exercise is water aerobics. I strongly believe in educating people about water safety.
My first two images involve swimming. The featured image is swimmers at the start of the swim portion of a triathlon. The next image is a swimmer at a swim meet.
These next two images are lifeguards keeping beach goers safe. On the left are lifeguards on a beach in Georgia. On the right are lifeguards in Kauai, Hawaii. Many thanks go out to all the lifeguards everywhere.
The next two images feature kite surfers. This is a water sport I never attempted. It’s a lot of fun to watch them, though.
The next two images are kayakers in Hawaii on the left and Florida on the right.
I can’t have a post about swimming without featuring a photo of our beloved dog Blondie. Oh how she loved to swim! I still miss her.
