Following A Theme

   Following the theme of family, and having a 12 year old grandson in the house still sleeping off yesterday, and not knowing when he will be out here talking about playing golf this morning, I decided to do more of a Jekyll Island promotional blog today instead of anything profound, unless, of course, a reader can find something worthwhile in the activities or thoughts of yesterday.

   So.....

   The main activity of yesterday was the water park over on Jekyll, Summer Waves. Doug and family went over when it opened, and we followed later, in time for a few pictures and bringing a snack lunch for everyone. An unexpected blessing was that the girl at the entrance gate allowed us to go in free and we just got to wander around, using the camera and watching the activities.

   Then it was time for fruit, crackers, drinks and chocolate.

   We had a visitor for lunch also, and he looked well fed.

   Not only did we get to go in the park free, but they stamped our hands on the way out for the picnic, so we got to go back at the same price. A double blessing.

   After a few more minutes in the park, it was a hot day and we could not go in the water, we decided to let the younger folks enjoy the fun, and we took the scenic drive around the south end of the Island, looking for scenes to photograph. At St. Andrews beach, we found a piece of driftwood sitting out on the sand and asking to be captured in a digital image. It used to be that the proper term for this was "captured on film", but, since there is no film, it is just captured.

   Regardless, I took several shots and then noticed that, in the distance to the north was the Sidney Lanier bridge. A convenient hole in the old tree trunk allowed me to frame the bridge, and I got the old and the new in the same picture.

   Neat, right? Can't see it?

   Better?

   The theme of family strikes again.
