There’s nothing better than having a view of water from our campsite. During our twelve years of part time RV’ing we have found waterfront campsites in many different places.

Wandering Wednesday – Water

June 20, 2018Posted in Birds, Georgia, NatureTagged Live Laugh RV, Photo Inspiration, salt water tidal creek, Wandering Wednesday, water16 Comments

I have lived within a few miles of the Atlantic Ocean for most of my life. A dock connects our back yard to a tidal creek.

At low tide, there’s just a trickle of water in the creek.

During the low tide, wading birds walk along the creek bed searching for food.

When the tide is high, it’s a different world.

20180615Creek-(2) — When the tide is high enough, we can hop in the boat and go for a ride

At the mouth of the creek we enter a river and explore the coastal waters.

And during the summer, when the tide is just right, we can catch fresh blue crabs for supper.

Nothing better than catching, cooking, and eating Georgia Blue Crabs
