Georgia on my mind!

This is the beach at Jekyll Island.

There are lots of marshy areas around. This particular marsh is near Jekyll Island.

This old fire pit is near the house shown below. I didn't stick around to see what was for supper. 

This spooky old house is near Shellmans Bluff. 

Hello! It's been ages since I've updated my blog and I apologize for that. I'll try to do better in the future.
I'm currently in Kingsland, Georgia and probably will be for a couple more months. Kingsland is in the very, very southeastern part of the state. If I traveled south only one more mile, I'd be in Florida, and, if I flew with the crows about 6 or 8 miles to the east, I'd be in the Atlantic Ocean. Although I'm not finding an over abundance of paintable subjects here, this area has turned out to be a very comfortable place to spend the winter.  While my friends back in Tulsa, Oklahoma were skating their cars around on the ice in temperatures near zero, I was having my evening coffee outside, wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Now when those "polar vortexes" were wreaking havoc all over the country, we dropped below freezing several different times so I didn't escape winter altogether, but for the most part, this has been the easiest winter for me in many decades.

I'm going to attach just a few photos of this area. I haven't done a lot of exploring but I have tried to hit a few of the best areas along the coast. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to go out exploring in the next few weeks. If I find anything interesting, I'll tell you all about it, right here.

Until next time!
