Monarchs at St. Mark's Lighthouse

If you saw Mitch's blog (http://fishponddrain.blogspot.com/), you are aware we went down to the St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge this week. The Monarch butterflies take off from here and migrate down to Mexico. I had not been to St. Mark's at this time of the year before, though we at one time we were frequent visitors. Here are a few images from my perspective.

Sunset Cove

Last week, Mitch and I went up the road just a short piece. There is a small inlet which has a few houses around it. This is an image from the sunset hour.

We are still having summer temperatures much of the time, so the "hot" feeling from this image is as it should be.

Swan

I am a fan of black and white pictures. I am not sure why, since I love making quilts and using all the colors of the spectrum in them. Still, I am a great fan of black and white.

This image of a Swan was taken at Bok Tower, near Winter Haven, Florida. I hope you like it.

Somesville, Maine

In the fall of 2007, we took a trip up to the northeast United States. One of the places we visited was Somesville, Maine. Since it was in the fall, and here in southwest Georgia it actually felt a bit like fall this morning, I decided to post this photograph.

5 Year Celebration

We went to Destin, FL, and Panama City, FL, to celebrate last week. I go to the beach for renourishment or celebration. This time it was to celebrate five years of my being cancer free.

This is an image as we crossed over a bridge. The crystal green water at Destin is always beautiful.

Crescent House Valdosta, GA - Church

Last September, my husband had to go to Valdosta, Georgia, for some training. While there I went to the Crescent House. It is an "ante-bellum" style house in the downtown area. On the same property is an old schoolhouse building and this small church.

Bank's Lake - South Georgia

This image was taken last year at Bank's Lake, near Valdosta, Georgia. It was early morning. I looked at the house in the woods and thought what a wonderful place to live.
