Friday Shoot Out

Friday My Town Shoot Out

WATER

Was this weeks water challenge

came from Hensley in Hawaii.

We are surrounded by water

Here on the east coast of

southern Georgia.

Anything in green is a link

for more information. Anyone who wants to join in on our Friday shoot outs can go to our info site and find out how to join up with our "gang" of shooters.

This is the view from our property

up in the country.

It's for sale, interested?

You really have to watch for gators

here in these parts of the south.

They are really everywhere.

And they are always hungry.

Silver Springs, Florida

Home of the famous glass bottom boats.

This isn't here but not to far

from us in Ocala, Florida.

The water is crystal clear.


They even have baby boats for the kids.

Under the Darien Bridge

And if you look the other

way this is what you see.

A little pond up in front of the Dollar Store. We buy a loaf of dollar bread to feed the birds and that sometimes turns out disastrous. You can read about it here.

These next three pictures were taken at the Jacksonville Zoo. We bought a season pass and we will be experts on the animals before the summer is over. I'm not sure what the animal is but I was impressed with the green algae water it was standing in.

The flamingo's pink colouring is caused by the Beta carotene in their diet. They feed on brine shrimp and blue-green algae.

This little water area is at the back of the zoo. Gives the kids a chance to cool off.

Crescent Beach, Florida

(Low tide.)

My favorite beach!

I grew up going to this beach.

It is about 26 miles from

my home town, Palatka, FL.

GRAND~girls on Cresent Beach.

World Golf Village

St. Augustine, Fl.

Good thing their heads won't fit thru that fence.

St. Simons Island, Pier

is the heart of the Island.

This is about 12 miles

from my house.

From the Pier looking on the

mainland at the lighthouse.

Most everytime we go

we see dolphins.

They have a very nice playground that

over looks the pier and the ocean.

Easter Sunday

An Old Georgia Pond

Odum, GA.

Jekyll Island, GA. has a very nice water park.

Summer waves. They just opened for the season a few weeks ago. This is about 18 miles away. We have season passes and the Grand~girls really enjoy the water.

These were taken last summer.

They have grown so much in a year.

Driftwood beach is on Jekyll Island.

This is overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

This was just and odd color.

This is what the marsh looks

like up close. Sort of yucky.

This is on the back side of St. Simon's Island, overlooking the Frederica River or sound.

And even prettier view of the

marsh and Frederica River.

The water fountain across from Lovely Lane Chapel at Epworth By The Sea.
In the back ground is the Frederica River.

This is just a little further over to the right. This also is over looking the Frederica River. This was taken on my Photography field trip.

This is with out the model.

This got so long I just had to quit. There are so many more places I could spotlight. This is a beautiful place to live and like I said in the begining we are surrounded by water. Great subject for me.
