Needing a good rest (I guess!) I slept 9 pm – 9 am overnight, out here on St. George Island.  So much for driving the better part of 6 days straight at my age . . .

 Woke up to a cloudy (but mild) day that gave off to some rain. That quit in the afternoon, at which point I hurried off to the beach.  It is every bit as beautiful as promised in the state’s St. George Island literature.  The pictures I plan to post with this entry should back that up (even though I took them on my old iPhone).  Given Sue Strong’s story, I was prepared to be terrified walking through the pond with alligators to the beach.  Happily, they were not in evidence today.  But there was a lively crane and a couple of very agitated great blue herons, none of whom I could photograph for all the carrying on.  Maybe I just didn’t see what they saw . . .

Tomorrow, it is supposed to be partially sunny.  If it’s warm enough, I plan on taking my chair and Kindle to the beach, where I expect I’ll promptly fall asleep . . .

This really is a peaceful, beautiful place . . .
