In late autumn, the marsh grass becomes a sea of golden brown.

The salt marshes on and along Amelia Island are ablaze with autumn colors. Now that the heat and humidity of summer have passed, it’s a good time to explore the island’s natural beauty.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Amelia Island Walkabout

Tucked away in the extreme Northeast corner of Florida lies Amelia Island. Bordered to the north by Cumberland Island, Georgia and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. To the west is the Amelia River and just south is Big Talbot Island. Here is a small sample of what can be discovered on this 13 mile long barrier island.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a short photographic stroll across Amelia.

Winter departs… Spring will pass quickly… Summer stays & sizzles

February 28, 2017February 28, 2017Chris and Carol Leave a comment

We enjoy our all too short Winter… the sky is bright blue and often cloudless. The humidity is bearable for once. Spring – one of the nicest seasons – departs quickly as the Summer sun returns north of the equator. The unrelenting heat drives us to seek water and shade. Boats and beaches – sea breezes and cool drinks – air conditioning and thoughts of the mountains. But Summer is our favorite season – it has to be – it seems to never give up or go away.

It’s also a favorite time to enjoy photography. The colors are amazing and if you’re lucky, the day will end with a cooling thunderstorm – light show included!

Bring on the Summer!
