Azalea Explosion!

Two azaleas in a remote part of our side garden – the absolute best place for them and the perfect time for these two plants to bloom. They’re essentially wild azaleas native to North Florida and have much smaller blossoms than our front garden plants. No fertilizer just a good dose of sunshine, water, and plenty of oak leaves to make the soil acidic.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Gardening! – Chris

Eye poppin’ color!

The azaleas in my backyard have bloomed and although I don’t recall exactly what color these are, they sure are colorful!

F4U Corsair Model at the Fernandina Beach Airport Terminal

I finally got the chance to check out the Corsair reproduction that hangs in the airport terminal building here on Amelia Island. The terminal was completed late in 2018 and represents a significant upgrade to the facilities that it replaced. Well done to all involved!

20190307_145609

The Corsair was flown by the US Navy and Marines in the Pacific theater of operations during the latter stages of WWII and enjoyed a reputation that was second to none.

The Corsair was powered by a super powerful Pratt & Whitney engine.

The terminal building is designed to evoke a WWII F4U Corsair fighter-bomber.

Thanks for stopping by and if you find yourself anywhere near northeast Florida make time to stop and visit our unique airport terminal.
