Beach Renourishment on Amelia Island

A never-ending process of replenishing lost sand along our barrier island. The sand is dredged from the St. Marys channel and then pumped on to the beach where heavy duty bulldozers then spread the sand. These operations will go on 24/7 for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

“Marco Rubio’s” – Brilliant! Many thanks to Ms. Sarah Chadwick!

This young lady has a great future! Brilliant!

Way to go, Sarah! Keep up the push for meaningful changes that will save lives – NOW!

Vote him OUT!

How much money is needed Mr. Rubio to get you to represent OUR interests instead of the NRA? Should we hold a bake sale for you??? The slaughter at the Pulse nightclub didn’t phase you a bit – standing on stage with the families of the kids who were murdered didn’t move you at all. You are one COLD HEARTED $.O.B.!

“They are so easy to buy”! Shame on you Mr. Rubio – putting YOUR bank account ahead of the lives of children!

It’s just unbelievable to us why they protect the NRA ($$$$$$$$$$$$$) like this over the safety of the rest of us – wait, we have a right to exist free from the fear of execution by guns! Our right to exist “trumps” your desire to own an AR-15 style weapon… period!

Peace and Love

Small Town America – Fernandina Beach

Classic small-town image – Peck High School completed in 1927. It was the only school on Amelia Island, Florida that taught grades 1-12 to African-American students. The good city of Fernandina Beach still uses this building and it is kept in excellent condition. It made for a beautiful picture today on this lovely warm Winter’s day.

Tour Guide – Amelia Island Beach 2.8.18

It’s been a very rough 6 months or so here on Amelia Island – a tropical storm passed nearby and 2 early nor’easters have wrecked havoc on our normally pristine beaches. Our tour today will show us some of the preparations underway for a large-scale beach replenishment project – moving sand from point A to B, C, D, and F.

Just lookin’ for a little peace.

Dredging and then the pumping of sand on to the beach is expected to start around March 1st. Lots of heavy machinery, pipes, and whatnot over the next 2-3 months. When they’re done our beach will be ready for whatever nature has in store this hurricane season.

Submitted for consideration for the Weekly Photo Challenge – Tour Guide

Thanks, Chris

Early Blooming Poinsettia

Here’s a poinsettia that we’ve had in our window garden for about 2 years now and this is the earliest it has ever bloomed. We say early because it should bloom late spring to mid fall here in Florida. The variety is “Red Glitter”.

We’ve done nothing special with the plant – no hiding it away in a closet. It sits in full sunlight in a northwest facing window. What a pretty plant!
